      Aguacate evolved from the Nahuatl word *āhuacatl*, which also meant testicle.

      One time I met a random Peruvian guy and we bonded over how our people (I’m Chilean) both say Palta instead of Avocado.

      In Nahuatl it’s āhuacatl [aːˈwakat͡ɬ]. Wa labiodentalising to Va or Ba is expected, since Spanish has betacism (and the fact the Spanish, so abacate makes sense. Don’t know how it became aguacate in Spanish. Maybe it’s a Willem Guillem case, but then how did it reach Brazil without going through that?

      It’s weird that the Aymara-language version of the word for avocado is included for Paraguay, but other indigenous languages from other countries like Bolivia and Peru weren’t included.

    5. You seem to have missed french territories, 2 islands (Guadeloupe and Martinique) and french Guyana, where we say Avocat

      Ways to say „Ahuacatl“ in America………Let’s remember the root word is the Nahuatl word ahuacatl, not the E nglish word.

      I’m intrigued that Suriname should use an actual Dutch word (advocaat), whereas European Dutch leaves avocado untranslated. To me ‚advocaat‘ means either lawyer or eggnog.

      „Kupanda“ is the Purépecha name for it. Michoacán, the world’s largest
      avocado-producing state, was once the heartland of the Purépecha
      Kingdom.
      Nowadays, however, most people in the region speak Spanish and call them
      aguacate.
