Help: Name the Puppy and Win a $100.00 Gift Card from K9 Cuisine
By: Shama Hyder
I love my job. = ) Running a virtual company has its perks, and when you have amazing clients-it makes the job EVEN better!
A new member has joined our After The Launch team-an 8 week old male Maltepoo (maltese and poodle mix). He is the 2nd official mascot (the 1st is a 2 year old cat named Chuchi).
The puppy was originally named Bubba, but it doesn’t seem fitting. So, we are hosting a contest!
Name the puppy and WIN!
Suggest a name for the puppy in the comments.
If we choose that name, you will win a $100.00 gift card from our client K9 Cuisine. Best part-they offer FREE shipping! = )
This contest will close on July 21, 2008, and a winner will be announced!
Winning Name: SNOOPY! Thank you for submitting all these WONDERFUL names. It was a tough choice, but something about a dreamer pup from another era fit well. Winner will be contacted directly.

How about Digg?
July 11th, 2008 at 10:28 am
Such a cutie patootie!
Well, I will have to admit, that I do like the name Bubba for a cutie like him.(The contrast)
So, a name huh? Well, How about Posha?
That’s the name I pick.
Best,
Greg

Hey Shama,
Great contest! Can I submit more than one name?
When I look at your baby puppy, here’s the name that seems to fit:
Winston OR Sir Winston (in honor of Winston Churchill)
He appears to be very dignified and wise!
July 11th, 2008 at 10:46 am
I think he looks like a Dexter.
July 11th, 2008 at 11:05 am
Hey Shama
Here are a few:

- Rory
- Stix

Hi Shama, he looks like “Snowflake” to me.

My family and I once thought about how the names of different cheeses would go great for dog’s names: Colby, Jack, Chedder, Gouda, Blue, Mozz(arella), Queso, Romano, Feta, Brie. This little puppy looks like a “Jack” to me!
July 11th, 2008 at 1:57 pm
Deacon, Berkley, Elvis, Herbie, Ceasar, Lambo, Beamer, Cody…thats all i can think of so far…I will keep thinking! Hershey wants K9 cuisine!

Hi Shama,
Had a friend once who named his dog Here Boy. Had another than named her dog Deeogee (say it out loud).

I like these names:
Kobi
Kona
Frosty
Levi
Bones
Bodhi
Ozzy
Cute dog!
July 12th, 2008 at 9:11 pm
His name should be “Weezer” this name is incredibly cute and meaningful! You will understand and have a great appreciation up until the day he is fully house broken. If this does not meet your naming tastes then I recommend “The Big Weezer” This is even cuter and packed with more meaning and you can call him “BW” for short.
Here are a few more names that might fit your fancy: “Price” “Toby” “LB”-(Lover Boy)”Angel” “Ozzie” “JC”- (Just Cute) or maybe keep his name simple like “Bill” “Bob” yu get the idea. Good Luck and I vote for “Weezer”
July 13th, 2008 at 1:22 pm
Looks like a happy puppy, how about Wags?
July 13th, 2008 at 4:58 pm
Congrats Shama on your new pet. I agree, pup doesn’t look like a Bubba to me either.
I would go with Divine.
July 13th, 2008 at 6:36 pm
Shama, here are a couple I came up with:
Moxie
Hudson
Simon
Blanco (spanish for white)
Milky
Ash
Aspen
July 13th, 2008 at 7:30 pm
How ’bout Cotton?
Enjoy the puppy!
July 13th, 2008 at 8:48 pm
He is beyond adorable Shama!
My picks for names would be:
Jack
Nube (Spanish for cloud)
Kumo (Japanese for cloud)
Shiro (Japanese for white)
July 14th, 2008 at 12:09 pm
The first thing that came to my mind was Milky.
My favorite dog names lately are Cobb, Carter and Marty.
Good luck with the new pooch - no mater what his name is he will have lucky life.
July 14th, 2008 at 1:37 pm
Vanilla Malted (call name Van/Vannie or Malto)
July 14th, 2008 at 4:16 pm

Good name!

Hi Shama,
Good to see contest exclusively for ur new puppy!, Certainly “Bubba” doesn’t suits him.
I would suggest to name it as “Twitter” or if you like name it on the person’s name whom you think is ur competitor, just like Amir Khan’s puppy name is “Shahrukh”
Twitter suits much better coz every one will start following him…

Looks to me like a super poof!
How about Pooof? (I like the really loong “o” sound)
Like “Pooof, you’re done”
And “Pooof, you are unique!”
or, “My Pooof is a Maltepoooo”
Cute Pup by any name!
July 18th, 2008 at 5:07 pm

Super cute doggy. I want one!
I’ve got three suggestions:

How about: Tchotchke
… or, if you don’t want to go the marketing-related route..
How about: Chachi
July 21st, 2008 at 11:01 am
What an extremely CUTIE! OK, here are a couple of names that have popped into my head. How about ‘Popcorn’ or “MyPoo”? I am in the market for a replacement puppy and now am looking for one like this. Good luck in your name search!
July 21st, 2008 at 11:01 am
well….seeing as a certain someone just got voted the hottest blogger out there….how about naming the pooch after him?
Peter
or Shank
or Diver
teeee.
July 21st, 2008 at 11:01 am
He looks like a DeeOhGee to me.
That’s D O G with the accent on the O
July 21st, 2008 at 11:01 am
Wagner
-or-
Brumby
He’s so incredibly adorable! Give him a big hug for me!
July 21st, 2008 at 11:02 am
Charley is a good name!
July 21st, 2008 at 11:04 am
snowball!
Good nicknames from that — and you can always say to him, “S’know what?!?!” when playing….
July 21st, 2008 at 11:06 am
What about Bax or Baxter?
July 21st, 2008 at 11:07 am
He looks like a “Boodle” to me! Too cute. Enjoy!
July 21st, 2008 at 11:07 am
How about Koda?
The hard “k” sound works best in getting the dog’s attention especially for training.
July 21st, 2008 at 11:08 am
So cute! How about the name Bentley?
July 21st, 2008 at 11:08 am
Hi Shana, very very cute.
I suggest “Blane” which is in the ‘white” family of names (like the female Blanche) and isn’t ‘too fluffy’ a name for a male dog. And when you are ready - my little company offers English Bridle leather dog collars and matching leashes hand made to order in Scotland (for about 20% of the price that they SHOULD be).
Oh, I don’t need the gift certificate but I would be thrilled if you’d donate it to an animal shelter.
All best, many happy days together.
Teresa
July 21st, 2008 at 11:08 am
My lab Lark and golden Buck believe he should have a name that’s fitting for a “big dog”- Lawrence or Harlan.
July 21st, 2008 at 11:09 am
I would suggest the name Bogey…as in Humphrey Bogart of the Maltese Falcon
July 21st, 2008 at 11:09 am
This ‘wise’ little guy looks like a “Balthazar” to me!
[Enjoy him! My puppy (now 8 years old) makes me laugh every single day!]
July 21st, 2008 at 11:09 am
Flapjack - “jack” for short, perhaps?
July 21st, 2008 at 11:09 am
How about “Hoot.” He has bit of a white hoot owl look to him….but also that could play to “what a hoot he is,” etc.
July 21st, 2008 at 11:10 am
“Bommie”, short for “Abominable Snowman”
July 21st, 2008 at 11:10 am
How about a compliment to the other mascot…the cat named Chuchi?
Phuchi
or Poochie
Then get a Minah bird, name it Achuchi and train it to say all three names…
July 21st, 2008 at 11:11 am
Vegas is her name
July 21st, 2008 at 11:12 am
What an adorable dog!!
As small dogs are known for their spunk and speed, here are my suggestions:
Bogie
Chase
Race
Indy
Enjoy!
July 21st, 2008 at 11:12 am
Dashiell!
He is part Maltese after all…
July 21st, 2008 at 11:15 am
Harry Go Lucky
July 21st, 2008 at 11:15 am
Oh my, isn’t he a little cutie! When something (or someone) is super cute, I always call them a biscuit. So that’s my name suggestions: Biscuit
If not, you could always go with the least obvious choice for a fluffy little critter like that: Thor
Whatever you name him, I’m sure he will have a great home and be very loved.
~Monica
July 21st, 2008 at 11:15 am
I used to have a small dog like this; very cute!
There is only one name.
KILLER.
(Pick the name and I’ll send the “Beware of Dog” sign your way)
Think about when you tell your friends about your new dog named Killer and then they see this cutie?!
July 21st, 2008 at 11:15 am
How about Myron?
July 21st, 2008 at 11:16 am
Aw, “Cotton” is really cute.
I suggest “Dudley.”
July 21st, 2008 at 11:17 am
Moxie - it fits the face
July 21st, 2008 at 11:18 am
Pootsie
Pogo
Snoot
Tribble
Swiffer
Raggedy
Poof
July 21st, 2008 at 11:19 am
Here are a few more to add to the pot: Bentley, Ziggy, Finn, Chef, Einstein, Howard (aka Howie) or Henry. He does look rather distinguished and wise. Good luck!
July 21st, 2008 at 11:22 am
Awww! He’s adorable!
Here’s a couple of names for you:
Drifa - Norse word for snowfall
Uller - Viking snow god - he looks pretty regal, doesn’t he?
July 21st, 2008 at 11:24 am
How about:
Toby
Ted
Sage (he has wise eyes)
July 21st, 2008 at 11:25 am
I have told myself from the beginning, if ever I get a little white dog, I will name it Guimauve (”gui” [rhymes with key] + mauve [like the color]), which is french for “marshamllow”. I pass this idea on to you
July 21st, 2008 at 11:28 am
I have a Peek-a-Poo named Peek…pretty original A! One of the many names that I call her is Bubba which often gets shortened to Bubs! We (my husband and two boys) did the math and found that Peek has about 20 different nicknames! And to think of all the sleep we lost trying to choose the perfect name. If you don’t like Bubs as much as I do then here are three other suggestions…
Halo (just because)
Helu (I believe the H is silent).
Helu is a word from the Maltese language that translates to Sweet in English. Because he is part Maltese and he looks as sweet as as sweet can be I thought this would be a very fitting name.
Because he also looks like a thinker…I offer Pense which is a dirivative of pensador(Portuguese)and Pensatore (Italian)! buona fortuna…chow!
July 21st, 2008 at 11:30 am
Yup, doesn’t really look like a ‘Bubba’ to me either. How about ‘Carson.’
Cute little guy.
July 21st, 2008 at 11:31 am
It seems fitting for an “office” dog to have an office-type name… So, why not name him Halpert (Hal for short)or Beasley - after Jim or Pam from The Office.
July 21st, 2008 at 11:31 am
Tonka - like a Tonka truck lol.
July 21st, 2008 at 11:33 am
He looks like a Marty to me.
July 21st, 2008 at 11:35 am
How about Charlemagne (Charlie for short)? He certainly looks like a conqueror (of hearts) to me!
July 21st, 2008 at 11:37 am
Focus Poop
I am sorry–I couldn’t resist
July 21st, 2008 at 11:38 am
He is so sweet! I like ballpark names for dogs like Fenway or Wrigley. Our first dog was named Callahan after Dirty Harry. Connery for Sean Connery.
Other ideas - Snow, Curly, Blanco, Mayberry, Hershey, Pookie, Poochie, Nick (John Cusack movie), Lloyd, Dobler, Martin, Shiroi (Japanese for white).
July 21st, 2008 at 11:39 am
Jeremiah the Exquisite
July 21st, 2008 at 11:39 am
He’s adorable! My suggestion is “Henry.”
Kate
July 21st, 2008 at 11:39 am
Jacobi
Jake for short…
July 21st, 2008 at 11:41 am
He’s almost as cute as my toy poodle
How about Puff as in Puff the Magic Dragon?
July 21st, 2008 at 11:43 am
How about:
Ceasar
General Maximus
Chappy
July 21st, 2008 at 11:43 am
CUTE! How about Apollo?
July 21st, 2008 at 11:47 am
How about Amadeus? The white, fluffy coats remind me of the wigs that Mozart used to wear.
July 21st, 2008 at 11:48 am
This pup is definitely “CASPER!” White and blurry-edged like the friendly ghost. Masculine in an understated way (he could never be a Bix or Tug). Rare and distinctive. Plus, the name goes well with your other mascot’s name (”Casper and Chuchi” could get up to all kinds of shenanigans as the heroes of a children’s series). And my own dog seems to like the sound of it — she perks up her ears, turns her head, and wags her tail when I say “Casper.”
July 21st, 2008 at 11:49 am
OK Shama, here we go:
Whitey, as in Whitey Ford as in white dog. Yeah, I know. Really obvious.
Jake, as in it’s short, one syllable, manly but friendly.
Or, in a bow to his French heritage, Jacques.
Oscar, as in he kind of looks like an Oscar.
Cumulus, as in a white cumulus cloud. Nah, too many syllables.
Einstein, as in he’s way smart.
That’s it. Those are my best shots.
All the best to you and your new team member.
July 21st, 2008 at 11:52 am
Button (nose)
Good for Male or Female
July 21st, 2008 at 11:53 am
He’s adorable! But he also looks like a tough little guy. So, I suggest Titan.
July 21st, 2008 at 11:55 am
OK, maybe I’m just hungry, but the first name that came to mind? Coconut Cake. Coco for short, which will be funny since the cutie isn’t chocolate colored.
July 21st, 2008 at 11:57 am
That is a Harry if I’ve ever seen one.
July 21st, 2008 at 12:00 pm
Hmmm… it’s an internet marketing puppy, so maybe its name should reflect its social media origins?
-Tweet
-Plurk
-Twurl
-Link(edIn)
-Haro (because I saw this on HARO)
-Dugg
Then again, you might want to choose a name with a meaning indicating that the pup will bring good things to your business. How about:
-Ashwin (Sanskrit, meaning “of great wealth”)
-Duarte (English, meaning “wealth protector”)– like this one!
-Vardhana (Sanskrit, meaning “bestower of riches”)
-Otto (German, meaning “wealth”)
-Eadulf (German, meaning “rich wolf”)
-Yusri (Arabic, meaning “well off”)
But he’s a wee Maltese, meaning perhaps he should have a name hailing from Malta, where the native language spoken is sort of a mixture of Siculo-Arabic and English:
-Anglu (Angel)
-Kelb (Dog)
-Ors (Bear)
-Xadina (Monkey)
-Re (King)
-Zahar (Blossom)
-Rajel (Man)
But Maltese families don’t just go around naming their children random Maltese words. You might name the pup one of the most popular baby names in Malta (from a 2007 list):
-Luke/Luca
-Gianni
-Damien
-Jaden
-Jordan
-Denzel
-Liam
-Aiden
-Kayden
-Dejan
-Julian
-Zack
Or, a traditional Maltese boy’s name:
-Attard
-Balzan
-Birgu
-Blas
-Comino
-Giljan
-Gwann
-Gozo
-Iklin
-Lawrenza
-Luqa
-Manwei
-Munxar
OR! Malta is the home of the Knights of Malta, a secretive Catholic military order, so perhaps a knight’s name for your little Maltese:
-Lancelot
-Gawain
-Galahad
-Arthur
And the current Grand Master of the Knights of Malta’s name:
-Andrew Willoughby Bertie
Enjoy the pup!
July 21st, 2008 at 12:04 pm
And if you don’t like Amadeus, then maybe just Mozart:) He might be musical.
July 21st, 2008 at 12:04 pm
He’s a major cutie who will have gender-identity issues unless you give him a macho name. I recommend “Hulk.”
July 21st, 2008 at 12:05 pm
He is very cute!
How about:
Elmo
Abe
Xavier
Boy Boy
or
Blue
enjoy him!
Mattison
July 21st, 2008 at 12:06 pm
He’s adorable! I think he looks like a Sparky or Puff. Or, how about Charmin (”Please don’t squeeze the Charmin”)
July 21st, 2008 at 12:06 pm
Hi Shama,
Congrats on your beautiful new pup! Like you, I also have an all white dog with a profuse coat - an American Eskimo dog. I named her Pukak (pronounced POO-ka)because that’s an Inuit word meaning “first snow, sugar snow”.
Pukak’s now almost 10 years old and is as brilliant white as the day I brought her home, thanks to a standing appointment with her groomer every four weeks, daily brushing by me, and my secret weapon.
My secret weapon is the baby wipe. I buy the generic, cheap, alchohol and fragrance-free kind which I clean my girl’s feet and hind end with. I do this religiously every single time I bring her in from walks and potty breaks. It’s a quick, easy, and very effective way to keep a white dog looking fabulous and clean. That’s criticallly important to me because Pukak is a therapy dog besides being my companion and sidekick.
Unlike most white dogs I’ve seen, my pup does not have nasty yellow and brown stains on her rear end thanks to the baby wiping. Nor are her feet stained from dirt or the red clay here in NC. Baby wipes really work.
Finally, I think a sweet name for your puppy would be Spot.
Best wishes with your darling new dog,
Anu Roots

July 21st, 2008 at 12:09 pm
I like Dandruff - it’s silly and playful, like a pup and a god companion but it also has “ruff,” like a dog! And, the obvious, he’s white
July 21st, 2008 at 12:12 pm
Well with him being a mascot for a canine cuisine place I was thinking “Sous” for Sous chef.
July 21st, 2008 at 12:14 pm
Variations on a theme: Dashiell, Hammett, Sam, Spade, Falcon. I like Hammett myself.
July 21st, 2008 at 12:18 pm
How adorable!
I like Bruce or Shatzi (soft “a”)
July 21st, 2008 at 12:20 pm
People always ask you what your dog’s name is, even before they ask you what yours is, so he can help you break the ice in conversations and give you an opportunity to network with people.
So I propose your dog is named SEO (but you’d pronounce it “see-o”) because when you explain it, you’ll get to network at the doggie park!
My husband and I have two dogs, named after our jobs. “His” dog is named “Render” because of what he (the husband) does with video animation… and “mine” is named “Noodles” because i’m a chef. Works great for us: “Noodles is an interesting name…” “Well, I’m a chef…” “Oh, really, where do you work?”
TIP: it’s important that the name not something you’d be embarrassed to yell across the dog park, like “Mister Cuddlemuffin”.
July 21st, 2008 at 12:20 pm
How about Spencer or Henry or Milton? He looks very important and needs a substantial name.
July 21st, 2008 at 12:21 pm
How about:
Biscuit
Snowy
Bing Bong
Boomer
Buddy
Snuggles
Bean
Beanbag
And my favourite Mr.Jimmy
July 21st, 2008 at 12:26 pm
Since he’s white and soft, how about Charmin?
July 21st, 2008 at 12:41 pm
Hi Shama,
Congratulations on your new family member! He’s a doll! It’s hard to suggest a name without seeing him in action, but “Curly” comes to mind. Also, “Sonny” or “Sunny?”
Hope you find the perfect name among all the great suggestions that have been posted.
July 21st, 2008 at 12:41 pm
Wow, naming a pup without meeting him…I’ll give it a whirl:
Brody
Cheech (to go with Chuchi)
Harvey
Jasper
D-O-G - say the letters quickly (with emphasis on the D) and it sounds Italian.
July 21st, 2008 at 12:45 pm
How about Milo?
July 21st, 2008 at 12:47 pm
He looks like a Cloud or Puffball (or just Puff) to me.
July 21st, 2008 at 12:49 pm
He looks like “Nelson” to me…
July 21st, 2008 at 12:49 pm
he looks like a Bently!
July 21st, 2008 at 12:50 pm
Also looks like a “Clancy”…
July 21st, 2008 at 12:57 pm
Cute puppy!! He looks like a CASEY to me!!
July 21st, 2008 at 1:03 pm
HARO.
July 21st, 2008 at 1:12 pm
Congrats. What a cute face.
For some mystery reason, “Sully” came to mind…
July 21st, 2008 at 1:13 pm
I keep reading everyone’s good wishes for a happy puppy life. How about “Lucky”? He reminds me of a teddy bear, I’d probably name him Bear.
I have a friend with a bichon named Blue and I love that name. Her Blue gets blueberry facials too, to keep his fur super white
He is a really beautiful little dog.
July 21st, 2008 at 1:14 pm
Donut
July 21st, 2008 at 1:18 pm
A very noble (and cute) puppy. How about Tristan?
July 21st, 2008 at 1:21 pm
Pupply looks like ‘Salem’ to me, an ancient word for peace.
Thanks for allowing us to play,
Doreen
July 21st, 2008 at 1:21 pm
He looks like a:
Powder
Blanco
Domino (well, the white dots on a domino…)
Einstein
Good luck!
July 21st, 2008 at 1:26 pm
What do you think of Snappy?
July 21st, 2008 at 1:29 pm
A name for the puppy…how about Falcon? As in the ‘Maltese Falcon’- first thing that popped to mind.
July 21st, 2008 at 1:30 pm
Over here at don’t get caught, a communications consultancy, we try to make sure you don’t get caught unprepared for all sorts of communications situations. In this case, don’t get caught naming your dog something you don’t want to yell when he runs away. It’s a good litmus test for the names.
How about Fluffernutter?

If it were a girl, I’d have to say olive because of that adorable nose. I’ll go with Plush. I just want to bury my face in his fur!

Apollo - the god of light and truth.
I also like Jack.

What a cutie! He looks like a baby harp seal to me. Why not name him Harper or Harpo (also for the Marx brothers)?
Enjoy him; he’s adorable.

I like the name, “Snoopy.” And for days when he’s behaving somewhat uncouth, you can always call him — “Snoop Doggy Dogg.”

Because he’s a maltese mix, and because maltese always makes me think of The Maltese Falcon, I would pick either Humphrey, Bogart or Bogie.
If you pick Bogie and the cat’s a girl, you could always call her Bacall.
As in, Bogie and Bacall…

The first thing that popped into my head after seeing that little furball was … “Furbie” !!! How cute is that?
Enjoy him.

What an adorable puppy!
How about Bentley? Or Tucker? I think either name would be fitting!

I have always loved the name “Baxter” for a dog, and thought it would be particularly cute and appropriate for a puppy since “Bax” as a nickname screams “mischief.”
It’s bittersweet to help name other people’s dogs, because my building doesn’t allow them! Otherwise, I’ve always wanted a pair: Colby & Jack. Saw that someone else wants to name dogs after all types of cheese!
Good luck deciding on this cutie’s name.

How about “Plush” … because he is so perfectly cute, doesn’t even seem real, more like a plush animal.
Or … “Bo” because although he is a spokesdog for K9, he is a perfect 10 (think Bo Derek).

He is so cute! When I saw him, I thought “Piper” and “Poppy.”

While I’ve always joked about the idea of naming a dog “Dammit”…. you know, “Get over here, Dammit” or “Stop that, Dammit” - here are a couple suggestions.
- Oscar
- Miles
- Oliver
- Omar
- Toby
Good Luck!

I thionk his name is “Gentle”
July 21st, 2008 at 3:15 pm
How about Yeti? He is so white and fluffy, the name should have something with the snow.
July 21st, 2008 at 3:30 pm
I think he’s either a
Beau
Gizmo
or
Button (as in “cute as a”)
Enjoy him!

Pepin. I had a friend in grade school whose family got a fluffy white Spitz and names him Pepin. Somehow this French king’s name really fit the little white dog. It’s unusual without being weird or just “too cute.” Otherwise, Buddy because he is.

When I first opened the link I saw the top of a white head and the name is….

He is sooooo cute. I use to be in sales and marketing in the fragrance business. Because he is white, it reminds me of the beautiful packaging of Kouros by Yves Saint Laurent. I suggest the name Kouros because he is beautiful and elegant like Yves Saint Laurent.

Darrin - like from Bewitched - look at those eyes!

How about Cotton, or Sable or Mink(he looks as soft as a Sable or Mink coat). Or mabybe he is as cuddly as Flannel or Fleece? Then again, we used to joke with my step daughter that she could help name our first child and we got a lot of giggles out of the names Propecia and Lubriderm (rx names from TV ads…Viagra for a girl? LOL! Sorry, I digress…use the fabric names above for my votes. Andrea

My suggestion: Halo (as in the ring of light around an angel’s head).
Why? He looks angelic. His hair adorns him like the white puffy clouds that you pray greet you at heaven’s gate. Angel seems close, but not quite right. So that’s my two cents on why you should name this precious pup Halo.
That, and my dog is suffering from a severe lack of attention since we welcomed our first baby home. $100 in free food would help make him feel special.

Hi! When my 5 year old daughter saw the dog, she said, “Mommy, that’s a snowball.” My husband likes the name Drift. So, there you go, Snowball or Drift.

My 12 year old daughter who knows such things says:
Triskit
I’m thinking Bloomberg.

How about Miko (pronounced me-ko)?
July 21st, 2008 at 5:51 pm
Since I hear he’ll be the office dog…his position will obviously be Head of Security! Could be called, “HOS” (rhymes with sauce) and I can’t help it, but “Don’t hassel the HOS” would NEVER get old.
If HOS doesn’t make the cut…my vote’s Haro!

Kumquat comes to mind when I look at him. Small,cute and delicious
Kumquat is an edible fruit closely resembling that of the orange (Citrus sinensis) but is smaller and oval.
