I was amused to realise that Turkey (the animal) has a wide range of different names, often a country foreign to the language.

i.e in Turkey they call Turkey Indian, in Portugal they call it Peru, in Malay it's a Dutch Chicken.

Turkeys are native to the Americas, so it showed up around the 1500s. Usually things from the Middle Ages and the Renaissance have very different words in different European languages. Words that are from Roman times or before are similar because they derive from Latin.
