Etymology

From Old Galician-Portuguese maçãa, from Vulgar Latin māla (“apples”) mattiana (“of Mattium”), though some theorize that mattiana was an Iberian pronunciation of the Gallo-Roman word matianium, a golden apple named after Gaius Matius, a horticulturist and friend of Caesar. See: Old Portuguese Nouns 'maçãa'.
