Kiwi

Kiwi can mean a small, brown, fuzzy fruit with bright green or yellow flesh and tiny black seeds, or a flightless bird from New Zealand with a long beak. Informally, it is also a nickname for a person from New Zealand.

From Māori “kiwi” for the bird, imitating its call. The fruit was originally called “Chinese gooseberry” but was renamed “kiwifruit” for marketing, borrowing the bird’s name.
