Calamansi is the [[Philippine English]] spelling of [[Tagalog language|Tagalog]] {{lang|tl|kalamansi}} ({{IPA|tl|kɐlɐmɐnˈsɪʔ|}}), and is the name by which it is most widely known in the Philippines. In parts of the United States, notably [[Florida]] and [[Hawaii]], calamansi is also known as "calamondin", an old name from the [[History of the Philippines (1898–1946)|American period]] of the Philippines. It is an anglicized form of the alternate Tagalog name ''kalamunding''.<ref name="mw"/><ref name="od">{{cite web |title=Calamondin |url=https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/calamondin |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181111215335/https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/calamondin |url-status=dead |archive-date=11 November 2018 |website=Oxford Dictionaries |publisher=Oxford University Press |access-date=11 November 2018}}</ref>

Other English common names of calamansi include: lemonsito (or limoncito), Philippine lime, calamonding, calamondin orange, calamandarin, golden lime, Philippine lemon, Panama orange (also used for [[kumquat]]s), musk orange, bitter-sweets and acid orange.<ref name="grin">(07-10-2008).

Calamansi was formerly identified as ''Citrus mitis'' Blanco, ''C. microcarpa'' Bunge or ''C. madurensis'' Lour. All those referred to it as a [[citrus]]. [[Walter Tennyson Swingle|Swingle]]'s system of citrus classification put [[kumquat]]s into a separate genus, ''Fortunella'', making the calamansi an [[intergeneric hybrid]] in that older system. In 1975 it was therefore given the [[hybrid name (botany)|hybrid name]] × ''Citrofortunella mitis'' by John Ingram and Harold E. Moore based on Blanco's species name.<ref>{{cite journal| last1=Ingram | first1=J. | last2=Moore | first2= H. e. | title=Rutaceae | journal = Baileya | volume=19 | year=1976 | pages=169–171}}</ref> In 1984, [[:nl:Onno Wijnands|D. Onno Wijnands]] pointed out that [[Alexander Bunge|Bunge]]'s species name, ''C. microcarpa'' (1832), predated [[Francisco Manuel Blanco|Blanco]]'s ''Citrus mitis'' (1837), making × ''Citrofortunella microcarpa'' the proper name.<ref>{{cite journal | last=Wijnands | first=D.
