Orangutans are named not for the color, orange. Their name comes from the Indonesian and Malay words “orang” meaning “person” and “hutan” meaning “forest.” Orangutans are forest people! The term was originally used for human beings who lived in the forest, but was given to the ape by a Dutch physician and naturalist who put it in his book in 1631.
