Legend: The name is said to come from the fact that it was a traditional gift to the Mandarins of China. Mandarins probably originated in North East India, as early as 2000 BC. They arrived from China in 1805, being brought to England as specimen trees in 1805. Some children of these specimen trees were taken to Italy and grown (mandarin trees were being raised in Genoa in 1849), and from there spread throughout the Mediterranean.
