What's your weird names for stuff?

Also, "grenades" were named for the pomegranate - apparently the shrapnel bits reminded people of pomegranate arils.

In México we also call them "grenades".

Same in Germany - it's "Granatapfel" which translates to grenade apple

In English I'm guessing it's the same origin because pomme is French for apple an in English we got French words coming out of our derrière

In french it's grenade

Well, pomegranate is french and means Apple Grenade, so it's all the same. In Norwegian too - granateple. It's just that the English language doesn't have it's own word for it.

this is the same in latvia also tranlates to granade apple

In German it's Granatapfel

"Pomegranate" means exactly the same, as "pome" has the same origins as the French word "pomme" meaning "apple".

we in Hungary too
Gránátalma
