Etymology
Ugli is a playful spelling of the English word ugly, which means 'not pretty', and it was first used in Jamaica for a citrus fruit with rough, wrinkled skin. So the name ugli helps you remember a sweet, juicy fruit that looks bumpy outside but is tasty inside, a mix of tangerine and grapefruit.
