      Not the same as there is no one calling a swordfish just sword.

      Plenty other languages keep the fish-part in the Tuna name

      Do they? Which ones?

        Hungarian here. Probably it would sound weird without the ‘fish’ bit, since we call it ‘tonhal’ (‘hal’ meaning fish). I just can’t imagine someone offering some tuna to me, asking ‘Ton?’.

        EDIT: However, in English, I call it tuna, not tuna fish.
