Readaptation of a substrate loan from Sicilian cuccumeli:

• from an unattested Medieval Greek *κοκκυμήλιον (*kokkumḗlion), ultimately from κοκκύμηλον (kokkúmēlon, “plum”), from κόκκῠξ (kókkŭx, “cuckoo”) +‎ μῆλον (mêlon, “apple, any fruit from a tree”);
• from κοκκύμηλον (kokkúmēlon) with influence from meli;
• alternatively from κόκκος (kókkos, “grain, seed, kernel”) +‎ μῆλον (mêlon, “apple, any fruit from a tree”) (cfr. Κώκαλος (Kṓkalos) for the first element).

Possibly cognate with Greek Κουκουμέλης (Koukoumélis).
