Subject: RE: What are other names for the accordion?
No idea what the name is.

For the record, according to my dictionary (The Chambers Dictionary}, diatonic comes from the Greek diatonikos. - , from dia - through and tonos - tone.

To confuse the issue, one could consider "pentatonic" where the bit before the tonic does refer to 5.
