Pomegranite, pomagranate or pomegranate which way is it spelled?

Having checked the dictionary the later also seems to be correct but obviously most people are spelling the word the way it sounds. This throws up some differences but we won't worry about the spelling and just concentrate on the fruit.
The fruit is a very old and ancient fruit having been harvested centuries ago in the Caucasus. It then spread into countries like Pakistan, India, Iran, Iraq, Egypt, Israel and China. Decades later the Romans eventually brought the fruit to Rome where its first appearance was in the royal gardens in Rome. Later again the Moors established the pomegranate fruit in the south of Spain and it was actually from here that the fruit finally made its way to America with the first pilgrims in 1769. Nowadays the fruit is still cultivated in the southern regions of Spain and in the southerns areas of the USA like California.
