burokok

Burokok is a term that can refer to several things, most notably a type of fruit and a surname. As a fruit, burokok is a local name for the fruit of the *Syzygium cumini* tree, also commonly known as jambolan or java plum. This fruit is small, oblong, and typically dark purple or black when ripe. It has a tart and astringent taste, often with a sweet undertone. The fruit is edible and is consumed fresh, used in jams, jellies, and wines, and is also employed in traditional medicine in some regions. The tree itself is native to the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia.

As a surname, burokok is a less common given name or family name. Its origins are not widely documented, and its usage appears to be concentrated in specific geographical areas. Individuals bearing this surname may have diverse ethnic or national backgrounds, and the name itself does not inherently suggest a particular cultural affiliation without further context. Due to its rarity, information regarding the etymology or widespread historical significance of the burokok surname is limited.
