nope, of course not. The word "orange" ultimately comes from Sanskrit narang. Oranges originated in southeast Asia, in either India, Pakistan, Vietnam or southern China. So, it's not just based on the fruit's color.

no, oranges are one of the only fruits that I have noticed that are orange. If they were green like many other fruits then they would have named it for something besides its color
