The phrase "fruits basket" means simply a basket of fruit in Japan. In Japan, where areble land is in short supply and fresh food very expensive, a basket of fresh fruit is a costly and desirable item. It is written in Japanese as フルーツバスケット, fu-ru-u-tsu-ba-su-ke-t-to, where the 'tsu' kana represents the 'ts' in "fruits", making it plural.
The series is named after a game, Fruits Basket, in which everyone sits in a circle, and the leader of the game names each person after a type of fruit; when the name of a child's fruit is called, that child gets up and has to find a new seat. When Tohru first played this game in kindergarten, she was assigned "Onigiri" (rice ball), which was fine with her, since she always thought that onigiris are delicious. However, everyone but her was called, and she was the only one left sitting when she realized that an onigiri isn't a fruit and that she'd never be called. She was purposefully excluded from the game -- another one of the mean tricks that other kids used to pull on her. She realizes that an onigiri can never belong in a Fruits Basket, even one time saying, "A rice ball doesn't belong in a fruits basket". Then Tohru starts feeling like she belongs in the Sohma clan. There is one part where onigiri is called and she runs up to play with her classmates. It means she starts feeling like she isn't the onigiri that is left out, but somebody that actually has a place where she belongs, hence the name Fruits Basket.
During the course of the story, lines spoken by members of the Sohma clan are often illustrated by a super deformed (SD) head of the corresponding animal: for example, when Yuki speaks from off-screen a small rat head might appear, and when Kyo snaps in reply there might be an angry cat face. Uotani and Hanajima's SD heads are based on their names and are a fish and a flower, respectively (although at the beginning of the manga, before the Sohma curse was revealed, Shigure and Yuki's SD were shown as the first letter of their names enclosed in a circle). As the series goes on, Tohru's comments are illustrated in the same way with an animated onigiri, illustrating that although Tohru might have been rejected by classmates at school, she has found a place she can belong with the Sohma family.
