1545-55; short for Turkey cock and Turkey hen cock and hen of Turkey, first applied to guinea fowl, later confused with the American bird.

The Turkish name for it is hindi, literally "Indian," probably via Middle French dinde (c.1600, contracted from poulet d'inde, literally "chicken from India," Modern French dindon), based on the common misconception that the New World was eastern Asia.

Domestic turkeys are descendants of the wild turkey, native to North America. The specific breed that became the modern domestic turkey is probably originally from the southern part of Mexico, though domestic turkeys are still considered to be the same species as wild turkeys.
