Etymology

The word 'macadamia' originates from the name of the Scottish botanist John Macadam, who was influential in the 19th century in the study and classification of plants. The nut itself, however, is native to Australia and was first discovered and utilized by the Indigenous Australians before being introduced to the rest of the world. The Macadamia nut tree (Macadamia integrifolia) was eventually cultivated for its edible seeds, which were recognized for their unique flavor and texture. This led to the nut becoming a popular ingredient in various culinary dishes and snacks. The name was officially adopted as it gained popularity in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, reflecting its association with both the botanist and its Australian heritage.
