Connections to Akkadian 𒅈𒋢𒌒𒁍 (arsuppu, a type of cereal with a braid appearance; an unidentified type of apple or produce, literally carp fish, scales), so applied from the appearance of its head.

Or, perhaps from Middle Persian *xār-čōp (literally thorn stick), from [script needed] (hʾl /⁠xār⁠/, thorn) + [script needed] (cwp /⁠čōb, čōp⁠/) equalling modern Persian خار (xâr)) + چوب (čôb), چوپ (čôp, stick).

(1960) The Romance Languages, page 282: "Borrowed directly from the Qairawān–Sicily region, without the article, the same Arabic word appears in Italian as carciofo; the Spanish form penetrated, however, into Provence, where it became archichaut, arquichaut, and thence into northern Italy as articiocco".
