According to another version, the name means “Tree of Orange” in honour of William III of Orange, king of England and governor of the Netherlands, who was the idol of Peter the Great, or it was borrowed from the toponymy of Germany (the city of Oranienbaum in the Principality of Anhalt named by Princess Henrietta Katharina Nassau- Oransky after her home place) simply as a “beautiful” name in the fashion spirit of the Petrine era.
