Etymology
Clementine comes from the name Clément, a French priest who grew this small orange in Algeria, and the ending -ine makes it like 'little Clément'. It is also linked to the English word clement meaning 'mild' or 'gentle', which is a helpful way to remember that a clementine is a sweet, easy-to-peel orange.
