Etymology

1. From Old Galician-Portuguese maçãa, from Vulgar Latin māla Mattiāna (literally “apples of Mattium”) though some theorize that Mattiāna was an Iberian pronunciation of the Gallo-Roman word matianium, a golden apple named after Gaius Matius, a horticulturist and friend of Caesar.
2. Cognate with Galician mazá, Aragonese and Asturian mazana, Mirandese maçana and Spanish manzana (Old Spanish maçana). See: Old Portuguese Nouns 'maçãa', Galician Nouns 'mazá', Spanish Nouns 'manzana'.
