Its English-language name of Neapolitan arose in the late 19th century due to confusion about its origin given Italy's reputation for ice cream[4] or because its colors—originally green (pistachio), white (vanilla) and red (cherry)—matched those of the Italian flag.[5] Early recipes featured a variety of flavors, but the combination of chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry became the standard, likely because these were the most popular flavors in the United States at the time of its introduction.[6]
