The conquistadors encountered the plant, known as "tlālcacahuatl" in Nahuatl, in the marketplace of Mexico Tenochtitlan, the Aztec capital. Interestingly, if you think it sounds similar to cacao, you are correct in that intuition: it means "earth cocoa bean."
However, the plant was originally from South America. You might conclude that "maní" is perhaps from Quechua (the language of the Inca). Wrong. "maní" is a Taino word, a Caribbean language.
Have a nice summer time!
