There is an early Arabic word 'al-birquq' which through Greek became 'benkokkia'. The old Latin name was 'Armeniacum' referring to the origin of the fruit in Armenia. The English name was adopted from the French word 'abricot'. Similar words exist today in Portuguese and Spanish as abricoque and albar
