A Portuguese word meaning rabbit, used in English when referring to Portuguese contexts or as a surname.
From Latin cuniculus (rabbit), which evolved into various Romance languages as 'coelho' in Portuguese, 'coniglio' in Italian, and 'conejo' in Spanish.
The word 'coelho' traveled through centuries of language evolution from Latin into Portuguese, and it's the same ancient root that gave us English words like 'coney' for rabbits in medieval times.
