Etymology

Noni comes from Polynesian languages like Tahitian and Hawaiian, where noni is the local name for the tropical 'fruit' known for its strong smell and use in island remedies. English borrowed the local name because the fruit is used for juice and traditional 'medicine', which is why the fruit and its products are called 'noni'.
