Speck is an English word meaning "fat", evidenced since the beginning of the 17th century. This word also exists in German with the same meaning, but usually refers to pork fat with or without some meat in it. The normal use of English refers to the use of German cuisine, especially from smoked or salted pork belly. In the Netherlands, spek is a generic term for bacon/lard.

In Italy, Turkey, and part of the English culinary world, the term "spots" refers to Italian spots, a kind of prosciutto, not a German speck. The term "spot" became part of the popular language only in the eighteenth century and replaced the older term "bachen", which is allied with "bacon".
