Yeah, the coriander seed comes from a plant that we mostly call cilantro in the States. I am going to guess the reason is that the main cuisine that uses cilantro (or coriander) leaves as an herb in the US is Mexican cuisine, and in Spanish, the coriander leaf herb is called cilantro. It wouldn’t be ‘Merica without Mexicans, and the Spanish language permeates American culture, so it makes sense we call it cilantro. Although now I know the coriander/cilantro leaf herb is often used in some southeast Asian cuisines as well.
We call cilantro Chinese parsley.
