In Spanish "pepón" is a unusual synonymous with "sandía" (watermelon).pepo-peponis is "melon" in Latin.(in Spanish "melon" is "melón" )
So the Spanish "sandía" , probably comes with arabs from orient.
From the Royal Spanish Academy dictionary:
"From the Hispanic Arabic * sandíyya, and this from the classical Arabic sindiyyah 'from Sind', the region of Pakistan from which it comes."Del ár. hisp. *sandíyya, y este del ár. clás. sindiyyah 'de Sind', región de Pakistán de la que procede.
Edit:so not "probably" it comes from Arab.
