GARBANZO BEAN
Garbanzo Beans or chickpeas are the most widely consumed legume in the world. Originating in the Middle East, they have a firm texture with a flavor somewhere between chestnuts and walnuts. Garbanzo beans are usually pale yellow in color. In India there are red, black, and brown chickpeas.

It could originally have been a pea that you fed to chicks (or chickens) hence chickpea. Makes sense to me.
