Answer 2

Arab traders introduced qahwah seeds from the districts of Kaffa and Buno, Ethiopia and began the first true cultivation of the plants in the Arabian Peninsula sometime between 1000 to 1500 years ago. The main center of qahwah production was the port city of Mocha, Yemen. Qahve imported from Yemen was a popular strong brew with the Turks who served the drink to visiting Italian merchants.

The Italians introduced caffe to Europe in the 1600s. Thomas Johnson added the seeds to the 1633 edition of The Herbal calling the fruit Buna "...easily divided into two parts...each a kernel longish and flat upon one side, of a yellowish colour and acide taste. They say that in Alexandria they make a certaine very cooling drinke hereof."

The stimulant became fashionable throughout Europe. By the late seventeenth century, the drink was enjoyed under numerous names—English coffee, French and Spanish café, German koffee, Finnish kahvi, Dutch koffie, Swedish and Norwegian kaffe, Russian kofe, Polish kawa, and even Yiddish kave.

As the drink traveled around the world, it was given more names—Japanese koohii, Malay kopi, Mayan kaape, Thai gafae, Tagalog (Philippine) kape, Punjabi (India) kaafii, Hindi kofii, Hopi kaphe, and Navajo gohwééh—all phonetic derivations from the Arabic qahwah.

Linnaeus really did not have much of a choice but to Latinize the name to Coffea [cof' fee]. The species was given the epithet, arabica, for everyone 'knew' the trees grew in Arabia. While the world believed coffee came from Arabia, the Arabian name appears to have been for the origin, the Kaffa district of Ethiopia.
