After all, the assorted fruit salad, which can typically come with marshmallows, whipped cream, nuts, and maraschino cherries, has been served during the holidays and public gatherings for quite a long time. Still, even if most people know it, the origin of the salad’s name is a lot harder to track down, especially since most understand what the term “ambrosia” means, but no one can quite figure out how it came to describe the dish.

obtainable
意味 (かたく)[通例 be ～]入手可能で.
However, David Shields also pointed out to the Associated Press that the ingredients became more obtainable once industrial machinery and railroad transportation allowed for greater production and distribution. As a result, a large portion of the population — who typically wouldn’t have had access or the means —were suddenly introduced to new and arguably exciting ingredients, which may have been seen as a blessing.

moniker
意味 [C] (俗) 名前, あだ名.
There’s no way to confirm this as a way to explain the moniker, but it’s a possibility. The National Women’s History Museum claims that despite increasing food availability during the Gilded Age, most people lived in impoverished conditions, leading to issues like starvation, as 10% of the population lived extravagantly. So, maybe they saw it as a godly gift after all?
