I find it interesting that on the linked page there is no mention of Semetic origin. Musa is Hebrew / Arabic for "banana" even if most modern Hebrew speakers say "banana" in everyday speech and don't know what "musa" is. |
User "nullzero" asked for more information about Grande Nain, and thus the link. Neither the name nor the banana are of Semetic origin. "Musa" is the taxonomic Genus under which edible bananas are classified. "Musa" also contains some inedible bananas.
