I have never heard of “kiwifruit” in my life. In the U.S. I and everyone else (AFAIK) just call them “kiwis”. Is “kiwifruit” really the full name?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kiwifruit

Kiwifruit (often shortened to kiwi outside New Zealand) or Chinese gooseberry is the edible berry of several species of woody vines in the genus Actinidia.

Seemingly yes

Because in Australia and New Zealand, a Kiwi is someone from New Zealand.
