Okay, let's add to the confusion with a quote from the MS dictionary.  Bear

Word History: The name tangerine is like the skin of an orange, which when
peeled off reveals something of interest. The name reflects the geographic
source of the fruit, Tangier, Morocco, from which port the first tangerines
were shipped to Europe in 1841. The word tangerine, from Tangier or Tanger,
was already an English word (first recorded in 1710), meaning "of or
pertaining to Tangier." This word had been formed with the suffix -ine, as
in Florentine. The fruit was first called a tangerine orange, later reduced
simply to tangerine. Confusion exists between the name tangerine and the
name mandarin, and with good reason. The tangerine is a type of mandarin
orange, so in fact the oranges shipped from Tangier could have been called
mandarins. However, although both names can be used interchangeably in a
general sense, there does now exist a particular type of orange called
tangerine as distinguished from another type called specifically mandarin.
The mandarin orange, which is native to China, is thought probably to have
received its name because of its resemblance in color to the robes of a
mandarin.
