Holly cow! You made me realize the relationship between "dinde" and "d'Inde".
It's funny how this was obvious to me as a non-native... I'm sure there are other similar "logical" word constructions in French which might be invisible to a native.

That is very likely indeed. There are also, less obvious constructions that stem from the historical relationship between French and English languages. For example, I've been told that "to flirt" comes from "conter fleurette".
