Etymology tree Proto-South Dravidian *mā Proto-South Dravidian *m Proto-South Dravidian *mām Malayalam മാം (māṁ) Proto-Dravidian *kāy Malayalam കായ (kāya) Malayalam -ങ്ങ (-ṅṅa) Malayalam മാങ്ങ (māṅṅa)bor. Portuguese mangabor. English mango Borrowed from Portuguese manga, from Malayalam മാങ്ങ (māṅṅa) / Tamil மாங்காய் (māṅkāy), possibly via Malay mangga, ultimately from Proto-South Dravidian *mām-kāy (“unripe mango”), a compound of *mām (“mango tree”) + *kāy (“unripe fruit”). First used for the fruit as early as the 1580s and the tree by the 1670s. The etymology of the -o ending is not certain.
