As for usage, here in the Southwestern US, toronja is king... you will rarely if ever hear pomelo... just like the issue with "durazno", "melocotón", "albaricoque" (fruto parecido al melocotón o durazno).... :) - cristalino, Jul 2, 2011

Strange, I thought toronja (hard J) was Catalan.

It is Arabic, taken from Persian, and ultimately from Sanskrit, according to the RAE. - lazarus1907, Jul 2, 2011

Toronja is the common usage for grapefruit at least in the north of México.

Exacto... si quieres una bebida de sabor toronja, pides "toronja" nada más, ¿verdad? - cristalino, Jul 2, 2011
y la jota es suave, supongo? - lagartijaverde, Jul 2, 2011
