 ===Etymology===
+From [[strained yogurt]] in the UK being associated with Greece.
-Late 1980s, when strained yoghurt was exported to the UK by the Greek company {{w|Fage}}. Initially, most strained yoghurt in the UK was from Greece; the term later became generic for any strained yoghurt. Compare American-origin terms like {{m|en|Armenian cucumber}} (which is not known in Armenia) or {{m|en|Romanian deadlift}} (which is not specific to Romania).
