In Turkish it’s “fasulya” but in Georgian language (I am originally a georgian-turk, but feeling myself as an ottoman turk :) ) we just use same word with this one in Gorgian “lobya” so i learned from your blog the origin of this word is Arabic thanks.

So many Turkish words come from Arabic. We can start by tesekkur! ;)
Most Arabic countries use more faSolya than lobya. (I just checked, lobya is used also in classical Arabic).

In Spanish it is Alubia. One of the many words we took from Arabic.
