I haven't seen any westerner refer to mangosteen at all. And considering its origin in Malaysia/Indonesia (+PH and I guess TH) with their largely Muslim populations and fondness of the fruit (my 2nd most favorite, after mango) the term is guaranteed not present there.
Quick search on the net leads to a joke; "What do you call a Jewish mango? Mangostein"
