Actually, it's not Naval orange, it's really a Navel orange. It's called that because if you look at the bottom of the orange, it looks like a navel (i.e. bellybutton).

It is actually called a Navel (not Naval) orange. This is because the blossom end of the fruit resembles a human navel (belly button).
