Etymology
Ceibo comes from a native South American language and was adopted into Spanish as the local name for the bright, spiny tree with red flowers. Like the similar word ceiba for another tropical tree, it was simply the local name for the plant, which is why ceibo today means that celebrated tree and Argentina's national flower.
