You mean tomato?

The botanical name for tomato has changed several times. Its earliest name was Lycopersicon or literally, wolf peach. Once the tomato was placed in the Solanum (Solanaceae) family, the botanical name changed to Solanum lycopersicon. Today the tomato is known as Lycopersicon esculentum, literally edible wolf peach.
