I don’t think the name turkey has anything to do with the bird over there

In Spanish it’s Pavo
In Portuguese it’s Peru
In Italian tacchina
French it’s dinde

Kinda wierd

“In Spanish it’s Pavo”

In Mexican spanish, “guajolote” is another word that they use for turkey. It’s from one of the pre-Spaniard languages.

They say it like “woe hoe low tay”.
