Jelly = made with Juice

Jam  = made with fruit

nothing to do with what sort of fruit it is.

You may very well think that if you choose to misread what is written.

Why did ‘a norange’ (naranga) become ‘an orange’?

same reason as "a napron " became "an apron"

If oranges were a different colour, would they still be called oranges?

They would, and the colour "orange" would be whatever colour oranges were. The fruit is where we get the name for the colour from, before we had oranges orange was just light red. Hence why we have robin red-breasts and not robin orange-breasts.

What about people from NIgg?

..or from ****t
or Blackdog
or ****ing
or Hell
or Dull

EDIT apparently people from the Austrian village with the rude name that rhymes with Ducking aren't allowed to tell you where they're from, so that's that conundrum solved
