Etymology

Lingenberry breaks into lingen and berry; berry is the familiar word for a 'small red fruit', and lingen comes from a northern name like Swedish lingon, linked to ling which means 'heather' or low shrub. So think of a little red berry growing among heather in cool forests, which is why a lingenberry is a small evergreen shrub that gives edible red berries.
