実際はトルコが元々Turkeyって呼ばれてて何らかの理由で七面鳥＝トルコになったらしい

Actually Turkey are called Hindi in Turkish, and Dinde in French. Both mean “Indian/from India”.

The reason behind the name is that the Ottoman Empire imported turkeys from “India” and called them “Hindi” to simply mean Indian Chicken.

Indian not in the sense of actual India, but North America back then, as Colombus had called it.

Then the British first imported it from the Ottoman Empire and called it “Turkey” in the sense of Turkish Chicken.

For that reason, the name is related where the animal was first imported from.

だってさ
