Further InformationEdit Edit

Same as Bhut Jolokia — the English name. The 'ghost' translation comes from 'Bhut,' which can mean ghost or spirit in Assamese. This name caught on in Western media after the Guinness record and has since become the default English common name. The Indian government's Defense Research Laboratory even explored it for use in non-lethal weapons.
