The name comes from the coca leaves that were in the original tonic.
Coca-Cola history began in 1886 when the curiosity of an Atlanta pharmacist, Dr. John S. Pemberton, led him to create a distinctive tasting soft drink that could be sold at soda fountains. He created a flavored syrup, took it to his neighborhood pharmacy, where it was mixed with carbonated water and deemed “excellent” by those who sampled it. Dr. Pemberton’s partner and bookkeeper, Frank M. Robinson, is credited with naming the beverage “Coca‑Cola” as well as designing the trademarked, distinct script, still used today.
The Mariani guy you are talking about, Vin Mariani, created a tonic wine mixing Bordeaux wine with coca because apparently he had a keen interest in coca. I'd like to try that, could easily make it homemade!
