Field pumpkin: The origin of pumpkin comes with an extraordinarily harsh past. It was first originated from the word, pepon from the Greek language, meaning large melon. The French then changed the word, pepon to pompon, followed by the British changing from pompon to pumpion. Supposedly, the naming decision was concluded. However,the name was finally settled when the Americans decided to revise the naming to pumpkin. Furthermore, it is usually grown in paddy fields, so it is called field pumpkin.
