Abul Faẓl, in the _Āīn_, mentions that the fruit was also called _kaṭhal-i-safarī_, or 'travel jack-fruit,' "because young plants put into a vessel may be taken on travels and will yield fruits." This seems a nonsensical pretext for the name, especially as another American fruit, the Guava, is sometimes known in Bengal as the _Safarī-ām_, or 'travel mango.' It has been suggested by one of the present writers that these cases may present an uncommon use of the word _safarī_ in the sense of 'foreign' or 'outlandish,' just as Clusius says of the pine-apple in India, "_peregrinus_ est hic fructus," and as we begin this article by speaking of the _ananas_ as having 'travelled' from its home in S. America. In the _Tesoro_ of Cobarruvias (1611) we find "_Çafari_, cosa de Africa o Argel, como grenada" ('a thing from Africa or Algiers, such as a pomegranate'). And on turning to _Dozy and Eng._ we find that in Saracenic Spain a renowned kind of pomegranate was called _rommān safarī_: though this was said to have its name from a certain _Safar ibn-Obaid al Kilāi_, who grew it first. One doubts here, and suspects some connection with the Indian terms, though the link is obscure. The lamented Prof. Blochmann, however, in a note on this suggestion, would not admit the possibility of the use of _safarī_ for 'foreign.' He called attention to the possible analogy of the Ar. _safarjal_ for 'quince.' [Another suggestion may be hazarded. There is an Ar. word, _āsāfīriy_, which the dicts. define as 'a kind of olive.' Burton (_Ar. Nights_, iii. 79) translates this as 'sparrow-olives,' and says that they are so called because they attract sparrows (_āsāfīr_). It is perhaps possible that this name for a variety of olive may have been transferred to the pine-apple, and on reaching India, have been connected by a folk etymology with _safarī_ applied to a 'travelled' fruit.] In Macassar, according to Crawfurd, the _ananas_ is called _Pandang_, from its strong external resemblance, as regards fruit and leaves, to the _Pandanus_. Conversely we have called the latter _screw-pine_, from its resemblance to the _ananas_, or perhaps to the pine-cone, the original owner of the name. Acosta again (1578) describes the _Pandanus odoratissima_ as the 'wild _ananas_,' and in Malayālam the pine-apple is called by a name meaning 'pandanus-jack-fruit.' The term _ananas_ has been Arabized, among the Indian pharmacists at least, as _'aīn-un-nās_ 'the eye of man'; in Burmese _nan-na-si_, and in Singhalese and Tamil as _annāsi_ (see _Moodeen Sheriff_).
