The name ''pomegranate'' derives from [[medieval Latin]] {{Lang|la|pōmum}} 'apple' and {{Lang|la|grānātum}} 'seeded'.<ref>{{OEtymD|pomegranate}}</ref> Possibly stemming from the old French word for the fruit, {{Lang|fro|pomme-grenade}}, the pomegranate was known in early English as ''apple of Granada''—a term which today survives only in heraldic [[blazon]]s. This is a [[folk etymology]], confusing the Latin ''granatus'' with the name of the Spanish city of [[Granada]], which is derived from an unrelated [[Arabic language|Arabic]] word.<ref>{{cite web|title=All hail the Pomegranate, official symbol of Granada|website=The Lecrin Valley|date=15 October 2012|url=http://thelecrinvalley.wordpress.com/tag/pomegranate/|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130609035836/http://thelecrinvalley.wordpress.com/tag/pomegranate/|archive-date=9 June 2013|access-date=7 May 2020}}</ref>

[[Garnet (name)|Garnet]] derives from Old French {{Lang|fro|grenat}} by [[metathesis (linguistics)|metathesis]], from Medieval Latin {{Lang|la|granatum}} as used in a different meaning 'of a dark red color'. This derivation may have originated from ''pomum granatum'', describing the color of pomegranate pulp, or from ''granum'', referring to 'red dye, [[cochineal]]'.<ref>{{OEtymD|garnet}}</ref>

The modern French term for pomegranate, {{Lang|fr|grenade}}, has given its name to the military [[grenade]].<ref>{{OEtymD|grenade}}</ref>

Pomegranates were colloquially called ''wineapples'' or ''wine-apples'' in Ireland, although this term has fallen out of use. It still persists at the [[Moore Street]] open-air market, in central Dublin.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Fred |first1=Johnston |title=Review: Woman as Poet |journal=Books Ireland |date=Feb 2004 |issue=264 |page=15 |jstor=20632662 |url=https://www.jstor.org/stable/20632662 |access-date=22 May 2023}}</ref><ref>{{cite book |last1=Barr |first1=Rebecca |last2=Buckley |first2=Sarah-Anne |last3=Kelly |first3=Laura |title=Engendering Ireland: New Reflections on Modern History and Literature |date=18 September 2015 |publisher=Cambridge Scholars Publishing |isbn=978-1443883078 |page=66 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=qIvWCgAAQBAJ |access-date=22 May 2023}}</ref>
