Best Answer

The word Calamari is taken from the Italian plural for squid. It comes from the latin word 'Calamarium' meaning 'ink pot' - obviously from the inky liquid associated with squid themselves, which in itself comes from a greek word.

Calamari is used in English, and also in many other languages, to mean deep-fried squid, and is a classic of Mediterranean cooking, not specifically Italian. It is very popular in Spain, North America, Greece, Turkey, and has variations all over the world.
