Bananas are indigenous to tropical Indo-Malaya and Australia and were most likely domesticated in Papua New Guinea. But the most common theory suggests that the word originated where?

The term "banana" is believed to have originated in West Africa, perhaps from the Wolof word "banaana," and was adopted by English through Spanish or Portuguese. Other theories suggest that Arabian traders gave the fruit its name based on the Arabic word for finger, “banan.”
