Granny's gone and done it again

Mmmm.... looks yummy.
Why is it called Hummingbird cake?

My gramma used to make Jello cake, a sheet cake with a pack of orange jello added to the mix. Lemon juice and powdered sugar for a glaze and you poke holes all over to get the icing down deep. Like a hummingbird had been stabbing it! Anyway, your cake brought back a good memory.
Other posters said it's bc it's very sweet, they think. Have not tasted it yet so I don't know.
