Orange comes from the house of Orange-Nassau the reigning royal family of the Kingdom of the Netherlands .Maurice I have a question
Is the color orange named after the fruit, or is the fruit named after the color?
The coat of arms comes from Maurice Prince of Orange, he led the Dutch in many great battles and is considered one of the greatest generals of all time as a strategist.
Maurice was originally known as Maurice Prince of Nassau but everyone kept saying I was an Islanders fan which isn’t good so I changed it to Orange which is a title he took later in life.
A ship named after himself was sank by Native Americans in a river in south Jersey which also bares his name.
