Hey, I’ve researched it. You don’t find hits before late 1980s, and in the UK earlier but still this is marked as North American usage. And the Bengali translation is obviously unattestable. I have now invented a more pleasant formulation. |

Etymology
Late 1980s, by the export activities of certain companies, in particular Fage, whose yoghurt is strained.
At that time “Greek yoghurt” appeared on the shelves of the United Kingdom, too, and earlier—the economic ties being closer—, but the term did not catch on as a generic designation, with the distance of continents potentially allowing for greater genericity of demonyms, compare also American-origin terms like Armenian cucumber (which is not known in Armenia) or Romanian deadlift (which is neither specific to Romania).
Noun
Greek yogurt (countable and uncountable, plural Greek yogurts) (chiefly Canada, US)
- A form of yogurt that has been strained to remove the whey, resulting in lower fat content and higher protein content.
- Synonyms: strained yogurt, labneh, yoghurt cheese
- Hypernyms: plain yogurt, regular yogurt, natural yogurt, dahi (“any yogurt that bar possible fruits has minimal additions in particular of sugar or other sweeteners: normal yogurt; the same as Greek yogurt minus the step of straining”)
- Used other than figuratively or idiomatically: see Greek, yogurt.
