The classical Latin word for banana is ariera. The fruit is native to Southeast Asia, and the ancient Romans probably knew of it through their contacts with India, though there is some evidence that the banana was also being cultivated in Africa by that time (it was brought to the New World by the Portuguese in the 1500's).

The word banana itself was also used in postmedieval scholarly Latin.

Modern scientific terminology assigns banana plants to the genus Musa.
