In modern Greek, the two fruits called "orange" in English have different names. The bitter orange Citrus × aurantium is called nerantzi, coming from Sanskrit via the Persian naranj. Meanwhile, the sweet orange Citrus × sinensis is called portokali, as it was brought to Greece by Portuguese traders. The Greek word for the colour orange is also portokali, but with the stress on a different syllable. This is a bit weird, as AFAIK the bitter orange reached Greece first.
