What was Turkey known as in 1500-1907?
When Europeans first encountered turkeys in the Americas they incorrectly identified the birds as a type of guineafowl (Numididae), also known as Turkey fowl (or Turkey hen and Turkey cock) from their importation to Central Europe through Turkey, and that name, shortened to just the name of the country, stuck as the name of the bird. The confusion between these kinds of birds from related but different families is also reflected in the scientific name for the turkey genus: meleagris (μελεαγρίς) is Greek for guineafowl. The domesticated turkey is attributed to Aztec agriculture, which addressed one subspecies of Meleagris gallopavo local to the present day states of Jalisco and Guerrero.[1]

How does the name turkey originates regarding Thanksgiving day?
The name 'turkey', describing the large domestic bird commonly bred worldwide for food, comes from the name of the country, Turkey.The term originated in the mid-1500s and was given to what we now call a turkey by the English, who mistook the bird for what they then called a 'Turkey fowl' - we know that bird better now as a guineafowl; their confusion could be forgiven: the two birds are related.The guineafowl was called a 'Turkey fowl' because it arrived in Europe from Turkey, although it didn't originate there; it came from Madagascar.The turkey as we know it today was domesticated by the Aztecs; the Spanish took the bird back to Spain in 1523, and from there it was introduced across Europe; the name - turkey - given to it by the English stayed with it, and that name travelled back to north America with the early settlers.So the roast turkey people in the US enjoy at Christmas and Thanksgiving, which didn't come from Turkey, gets its name from a bird popular with the English, which also didn't come from Turkey.
