The word coffee appears to have been derived from the name of the region where coffee beans were first used by a herder in the 6th or 9th century: kaffa derived from Kaffa province in Ethiopia, which was the name of the region in ancient Abyssinia.
The word coffee entered the English language in 1582 via the Dutch koffie, borrowed from the Ottoman Turkish kahve, borrowed in turn from the Arabic qahwah.
