來源：Italian bufalo 義大利語 bufalo or Portuguese 或 葡萄牙語 or Spanish búfalo 或 西班牙語 búfalo from Late Latin bôfalus 源自 後期拉丁語 bôfalus from Latin bôbalus 源自 拉丁語 bôbalus from Greek boubalos 源自 希臘語 boubalos
<注釋>The buffalo is so closely associated with the Wild West that it would seem natural to assume that its name comes from a Native American word, as is the case with the wordsmoose and skunk. In fact, however,buffalo can probably be traced back by way of one or more of the Romance languages, such as Portuguese, Spanish, or Italian, through Vulgar Latin and Latin and ultimately to the Greek wordboubalos, meaning .an antelope or a buffalo.. The buffalo referred to by the Greek and Latin words was, of course, not the American one but rather an Old World mammal, such as the water buffalo of southern Asia.Applied to the North American mammal,buffalo is in fact a misnomer, bison being the preferred term. As far as everyday usage is concerned, however,buffalo, first recorded for the American mammal in '35, is older thanbison, first recorded in 774. 野牛同西部荒原聯繫如此緊密以致人們很自然地認為這個名字源於美洲本地語言，就象這兩個詞moose 和 skunk。 然而，實際上buffalo 一詞可以通過一種或更多種日耳曼語言，如葡萄牙語、西班牙語或義大利語溯源。 通過通俗拉丁語和拉丁語最終追溯到希臘詞boubalos 意思是.羚羊或野牛.。 希臘語和拉丁語所指的野牛當然不是美洲野牛，而是東半球的一種哺乳動物，如南亞水牛。就北美哺乳動物來說，buffalo 實際上是用詞不當， bison 才是合適的詞。 然而就日常用法而言，buffalo 於'35年首次被用於記錄美國哺乳動物， 比首次記錄於774年的bison 要早些
