Mango is a fruit which is indigenous to the Indian subcontinent,[1] belonging to the genus Mangifera, consisting of numerous species of tropical fruiting trees in the flowering plant family Anacardiaceae. While other Mangifera species (e.g. horse mango, M. foetida) are also grown on a more localized basis, Mangifera indica – the common mango or Indian mango – is the only mango tree commonly cultivated in many tropical and subtropical regions, and its fruit is distributed essentially world-wide.

The English word "mango" probably originated from Tamil word "maangai" (மாங்காய்) via Portuguese (also manga). The word's first recorded attestation in a European language was a text by Ludovico di Varthema in Italian in 1510, as manga; the first recorded occurrences in languages such as French and post-classical Latin appear to be translations from this Italian text. The origin of the "-o" ending in English is unclear.

When mangoes were first imported to the American colonies in the 17th century, they had to be pickled due to lack of refrigeration. Other fruits were also pickled and came to be called "mangoes" (especially bell peppers), and by the 18th century, the word "mango" became a verb meaning "to pickle". In Oriya Mango is known as Aamba (ଆମ୍ବ).

Το μάγγο (ή μάγκο ή μάνγκο) είναι αειθαλές δέντρο μετρίων (ορισμένες φορές μεγάλων) διαστάσεων με πυκνή κόμη. Τα φύλλα του είναι βαθυπράσινα και δερματώδη, ενω τα άνθη μικρά και κιτρινωπά. Οι καρποί του είναι σφαιρικοί ή ωοειδής, και μπορεί να ζυγίζουν μέχρι και 500 γρμ. Η καταγωγή του είναι από τις περιοχές της Ινδίας.
Το μάγγο παρόλο που είναι ιθαγενές σε τροπικές περιοχές της Ασίας, καλλιεργείται συστηματικά και σε άλλες τροπικές περιοχές του κόσμου.
