在西班牙及葡萄牙神话中，有一个可怕的妖怪叫做coco，他长着一个南瓜头，面目可怖。家长们经常用它来吓唬小孩。在口语中，coco表示“鬼脸、骷髅”。当葡萄牙殖民者到达太平洋岛屿时，他们发现岛上有很多椰树，所结果实的底部有三个凹陷处，看上去像个鬼脸，所以就用coco来命名，将其称为coconut，字面意思就是“鬼脸坚果”。

小知识
A coconut is a large, nut-like fruit that grows high in trees. Coconuts have very hard shells and sweet, white flesh inside.
The white, flaked coconut you can buy in a bag at the grocery store is a processed form of the coconut fruit. Coconuts are large brown balls that must be cut or sawed open — inside the shell is the coconut meat, and clear coconut water. To use coconut for baking, it has to first be grated and, often, sweetened. The word comes from coco, “grinning face,” in Portuguese, which may refer to the three face-like holes in a coconut shell.
