Etymology

The term "tuna" comes from Spanish atún < Andalusian Arabic at-tūn, assimilated from al-tūn التون : 'tuna fish' < Middle Latin thunnus. Thunnus is derived from Ancient Greek: θύννος, romanized: thýnnos used for the Atlantic bluefin tuna, that name in turn is ultimately derived from θύνω thýnō, meaning "to rush, dart along".

In English, tuna has been referred to as Chicken of the Sea. This name persists today in Japan, where tuna as a food can be called シーチキン (shi-chikin), literally "sea chicken".
