The Kiwi fruit gets its name from a marketing strategy, naming it after the kiwi, the national bird of New Zealand.
Previously it was known as the Chinese gooseberry, but due to the Cold War, the Chinese label seemed unfit for popularization of the fruit in Western countries.
Growers gradually adopted the name and in 1974 the kiwifruit became the official trade name.
