wiktionary
From Portuguese manga, from Malay mangga. First used for the fruit as early as the 1580s and the tree by the 1670s. [1] [2] Ultimately from a Dravidian language [3] (reconstructed Proto-Dravidian *maṯ-kāy(“unripe mango”), a compound of *mā-m(“mango tree”) + *kāy(“unripe fruit”) [4]); Oxford English Dictionary says it ultimately stems from Malayalam മാങ്ങ(māṅṅa, “unripe mango”) ( മാവ്(māvŭ, “mango tree”) + കായ(kāya, “unripe fruit”)), [2] while Online Etymology Dictionary points to Tamil மாங்காய்(māṅkāy, “unripe mango”) ( மா(mā, “mango”) + காய்(kāy, “unripe fruit”)). [1] The etymology of the -o ending is not certain. [2]
