Pomegranates are from Granada. In French, Granada is "Grenade" and pomegranate is "pomme grenade", which directly translates to Granada apple

[Telemakhos]

No. "Pomegranate" comes from the Latin "pomum granatum," the 'fruit having many seeds.' Granum means grain or seed, and granatus is a pseudo-participial form (like "mentulatus") meaning 'endowed with seeds.' Granada, the city, likely derives its name from Arabic.

as a french I absolutely never heard "pomme grenade" for the fruit, just "grenade" directly

may depend where you're from. I'm a French speaker and it's always been "pomme grenade" everywhere I have been.
