WHAT DOES CALABAZA MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Calabaza

Calabaza is "a large winter squash that resembles a pumpkin and is typically grown in the West Indies and tropical America." The term is also used loosely for a variety of gourds from Africa, the Americas and the Caribbean. The word calabaza is derived from the Persian term for melon. The French term "calabasse", and hence "calabash", is based on the older Spanish. In common use the French term "calabash" refers to a gourd native to the African continent, while "calabaza" refers to a gourd native to the Americas. In North America, the word "calabaza" refers to any of several species of tropical gourds of the genus Cucurbita. Two common species native to the Caribbean are C. moschata and C. maxima. The widespread species C. foetidissima specifically identifies "calabaza" as one of its common names. The Spanish "calabacera frasco" refers specifically to C. foetidissima. Local names for "large green or yellow gourds" include "auyama", "ayote", "abóbora", and "zapallo" much of South America.
