Was the country Turkey named after turkeys or were turkeys named after the country Turkey?
The bird was named for the country. The turkey bird was mistakenly identified as a guineafowl when the British settlers arrived. Since guineafowl were from Turkey, the bird was named a turkey. Similar with other things that were misidentified and mislabeled (like Native Americans being called "Indians"), the title of turkey stuck for the animal, even though it has nothing to do with Turkey at all.
