  • Google's AI Overview about this name's etymology:
    1. While often used simply as a proper name for the species, in some local Gujarati contexts, the word hoka (or hokka) can colloquially refer to something that is "crazy" or "mad", likely referring to the tree's unusual and irregular branching pattern which distinguishes it from typical straight-trunked palms.
    2. This name in all probability, named for the Okhamandal region (tip of the Saurashtra peninsula near Dwarka), which is a native habitat for this palm.

માકાંબેરુ makamberu (archaic name, was prevalent in Daman)
  • Sheshagiri Rao Rolla (1970) The Doum Palms in India ... (accessed: Jan 15, 2026)
  • Google's AI Overview about this name's etymology:
    1. The name makamberu is almost certainly of Swahili (East African) origin, brought to the Indian coast via the Portuguese maritime trade routes.
    2. Daman and Diu were key nodes in the Portuguese State of India (Estado da Índia), which heavily traded with Mozambique and the East African coast. It is highly probable that African sailors or the Siddi community (Indians of African descent) brought both the seeds and the original African name to Daman.
