Meaning and background
The story behind Chikoo
Chikoo is a common South Asian name for the sapodilla, a brown-skinned fruit with soft, sweet flesh. Hindi dictionaries record the form चीकू, while a Marathi encyclopaedia also identifies the plant and its fruit. That gives this spelling a dependable food reference without needing to invent a personal-name translation. The fruit itself originated in tropical America, which is separate from the South Asian language history of the word.
