      Spanish alholva and Portuguese alforba are derived from the Arabic al-hulbah "fenugreek". This is probably a native Semitic name and related to the name of fenugreek in Hebrew, hilbeh. The names may be derived from the same root hlb "milk" that also lies behind the name of mahaleb cherry. Arabic hulbah is also the source for several names of fenugreek in Far Eastern languages including Malay halba, Chinese hu lu ba and Vietnamese ho lo ba.
