... wait, is this why animal-type devil fruits are called Zoan?

If the mysterious girl we saw in chapter 795 was a minkwoman then the minkmen look like animal-human-hybrits. They live on Zo. They are Zoans (as a population name). Could it be that the DFs were named after the Zoan people? Or that Zoan DFs even originate from Zo?
