Like its history, the etymology or naming of Kenya marrow and courgettes is an interesting one. The very initial reference to them as marrow was 1822, before the word zucchini took over until the late 1920s and from 1931 the word courgette came to the frontline. From the wording, one can also learn more about the origin of the fruit. Marrow for a long time used to refer to the undeveloped but ready to cook fruits of the African gourd whose origin had been there since Stone Age. This shows that the plant now thriving mainly in Africa, Europe and south-west Asia (India and Pakistan) had been around for a long time.
