Here are some English words you probably did not know were from Spanish
1. Armadillo
The name for this creature made its way into English from the Spanish "armado" (armed) and the diminutive "-illo," according to Dictionary.com.
2. Banana
The word's origins are probably African, but it came to English through Spanish.
3. California
The name is first mentioned in the Spanish romance Garci Ordonez de Montalvo "Exploits of Espladán," first published in 1510. According to Dictionary.com, the book was influential among the early Spanish explorers, who first used the name California to describe the North American territory
4. Cannibal
When Christopher Columbus arrived in what would become known as the Americas, he encountered an indigenous group that came to be called the Caribs (from which the word "Caribbean" was born). Columbus pronounced the word the group used to describe itself as "caniba," which morphed into its current usage because the early European conquerors thought the Caribbean ate their enemies -- an exaggerated myth that has some basis in fact. Caniba became "caníbal" in Spanish and "cannibal" in English.
5. Cafeteria
In Spanish there's an accent on the "i", but it's basically the same word.
6. Cargo
Ultimately derived from the verb "cargar," to carry.
