About
The name cinnamon comes from Phoenician through the Greek kinnám?mon.
In many other, particularly European, languages it has a name akin to French cannelle, diminutive of canne (reed, cane) from its tube-like shape.
In Persian, it is called darchin . In Turkish, it is called “Tarç?n”.
In Indonesia, where it is cultivated in Java and Sumatra, it is called kayu manis and sometimes cassia vera, the “real” cassia.[1] In Sri Lanka, in the original Sinhala, cinnamon is known as kurundu,[2] recorded in English in the 17th century as Korunda.[3] In Arabic it is called qerfa .
