It is a legume, like other beans and peanuts.
it is a weird name but I think it is considered a bean....I see them all the time on the salad bars next to kidney beans...but I think they are technically a bean......

The others are right, it's a legume. The name chickpea comes from the latin Cicer ( arietinum ).
