For what it's worth (possibly nothing), from Wikipedia: |

|

The application of *Gentoo* to the penguin is unclear, according to |
4 |
the *OED<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OED> |
5 |
*, which reports that *Gentoo* was an Anglo-Indian term, used as early as |
6 |
1638 to distinguish Hindus <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hindu> in India |
7 |
from Muslims, the English term originating in Portuguese *gentio* (compare " |
8 |
gentile <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gentile>"); in the twentieth century |
9 |
the term came to be regarded as |
10 |
derogatory<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Derogatory> |
11 |
. |

This needs to be followed up. One interesting publication would be |

to which I do not have access. However, this investigation is not |
28 |
over. The scientific name of the Gentoo Penguin is *Pygoscelis papua. |
29 |
It should not be difficult to find the original description?* |
