    Bulgarian : Диня / Dinya

    But a lot of regional dialects use the Turkish word Karpuz too.

    According to the earliest evidence, watermelons were first grown in Egypt about 5,000 years ago.
    Watermelons have been grown in China since the tenth century, and in Europe since the 13th.
    ...Even if a man lives well, he dies and another one comes into existence. Let the one who comes later upon seeing this inscription remember the one who had made it. And the name is Omurtag, Kanasubigi.
