Etymologie

() Origin is uncertain but several theories predominate. * The early English migrants had complexions like pomegranates. * The word is rhyming slang derived from "pomegranite" for immigrant hence "pomegrant" (Can we this quote?) Marshall, Peter, The Cambridge Illustrated History of the British Empire, Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, ISBN 978-0521002547, page 272: If the family were new immigrants they might be irritated by children chanting 'jimmy-granite, pomegranate' - and hence 'Pom'. * An acronym of "Prisoner of His Majesty", which was stamped on the uniforms of transported prisoners. However, many historians dispute this claim.
