Forms:

α. 1500s Fernandobuck, 1500s–1600s Fernanbuck, 1500s–1600s Fernandbuck, 1700s Fernambuck, 1700s Fernebourge, 1700s–1800s Fernambuk, 1900s– Fernambuco.

β. 1700s Pernambuca, 1800s– Pernambuco.

Also with lower-case initial.
Origin: From a proper name. Etymon: proper name Pernambuco.
Etymology: < Pernambuco, the name of a state in north-eastern Brazil and (originally) the name of the capital city of that state (now Recife). Compare Portuguese pau de pernambuco, pau pernambuco (also as Fernambuco, pernambuco), Spanish palo de Pernambuco (earlier as palo de Fernambuco (1853); also as fernambuco), Italian fernambuco (also as Fernambucco; 1598 in Florio as fernanbucco).The Brazilian place name is of Tupi origin (compare Tupi paranã river carrying much water, puka breaking, splitting). The early forms of the word with initial F- apparently reflect an alteration of the place name after the personal name Fernando (compare forms of the place name Fernanbuco , Fernambuco from 1528 onwards in Spanish sources). An anecdote connecting the name of the city with the name of an alleged founder called Fernando was apparently still current in the late 19th cent. In the form Fernebourge probably altered after French bourg (as a place name element, e.g. in Cherbourg , Bourges ; compare bourg n.). N.E.D. (1895) enters this under Fernambuck and indicates the stress as Ferˈnambuck.
More fully Pernambuco wood. The hard, reddish wood of a tropical American tree, Caesalpinia echinata, of the family Caesalpiniaceae ( Leguminosae), formerly much valued as a source of a red dye and now used chiefly for making violin bows; (also) the wood of several other trees of the genus Caesalpinia used as dyewoods. Cf. Brazil n.1 1.
