The name jack O’lantern comes from Irish folklore and refers to a man named Stingy Jack. He tricked the devil on several occasions and after dying, God would not let such an unsavory individual into heaven. Per the multiple ‘arrangements’ with the dark prince, Jack was not allowed into hell, either. Instead, Beelzebub, gave Jack burning coal to light his way while roaming the earth for eternity. He placed this in a hollowed out turnip and has been walking the land ever since. The tradition of carving a jack O’lantern from turnips and potatoes changed when Irish immigrants came to the pumpkin plentiful United States.
