The origins of the word chocolate may come from either the Mayan cacao or the Nahuatl (Aztec) chocolatl. Spanish explorers brought it to Europe as a drink made of powdered beans, similar to cocoa but not sweetened. As cacao beans became more widely available, people began to experiment with different ways of using them. An English confectioner, Joseph Storrs Fry, made the first eating chocolate in 1849.
For this reason people often ask us: Where Does the Word Chocolate Come From? The word âchocolateâ probably comes from the Spanish. The most likely scenario is that the Spanish combined the Maya word chocol, meaning âhotâ, and the Aztec atl (âwaterâ) to form chocoatl. The correct pronunciation of âtlâ is âteâ (âtayâ in Spanish).
