Etymology

The genus name Carya comes from the Greek word 'karya', meaning 'nut'. This name reflects the importance of the nuts produced by these trees. Carya trees have been part of the North American landscape for thousands of years, and their evolution is closely associated with the region's climate and ecology. The hickories are significant in Native American culture, as they have utilized the nuts as a food source and the wood for tools and shelter. Over time, the cultivation and harvesting practices of Carya have evolved, leading to their commercial importance in the timber and food industries. Today, hickory wood is sought after for its durability and is often used in furniture and flooring, while the nuts are harvested for culinary purposes.
