Tuka?
Christopher Columbus thought that the land he discovered was connected to India, where peacocks are found in considerable number. He believed turkeys he saw in the New World were a type of peacock, although they are actually in the pheasant family. So Columbus named the newly discovered birds “tuka”, which is "peacock" in the Tamil language of India. They later came to be known as turkeys.
