1936: backgammon Apr 3, 2020

Despite the game having its origins in the Middle East, the name 'backgammon' does actually come from English. 'Gammon', which is both one of the elements and a move in the game, comes from the Old English 'gamen', an earlier form of the modern 'game'. The retention of the -n, nowadays makes it distinct, as it has survived only through this name. The other part of the compound, 'back', is fairly consistent, and apparently referring to the fact that the pieces are forced to move back in order to backgammon someone. Before the 17th century, the game was called 'Tables', which you can read more about here.
