'Ananas' in Icelandic refers to 'pineapple.' Interestingly, the word 'ananas' is used in many languages around the world, from French to Russian, to describe this tropical fruit. The consistency in naming across so many languages contrasts sharply with English's unique term 'pineapple.'
'Appelsína,' on the other hand, means 'orange' in Icelandic. This term showcases the influence of trade routes and cultural exchange on language. The root 'appel-' is akin to 'apple,' suggesting a foreign or exotic apple, while '-sína' hints at China, from where the sweet orange variety originally came. The journey of the orange and its name is a testament to the intricate web of global trade and exploration.
