==Name== Originally, the word Kumpir comes from the Palatine/Alemannic word Grumbier or Grummbeere ('ground pears'/potatoes → 'Grunbeern' → 'Grumbeern'). In this form, it was also used by German settlers in Southeastern Europe, the Danube Swabians, where it entered the Serbo-Croatian language as krumpir or krompir, and the Hungarian language as krumpli, and was spread as far as Anatolia by Balkan Turks who had contact with these German speakers.
