Wikipedia says so, so it must be true!
I guess we are entering the philosophical level of “what is an English word?” now. I don’t think I’m the right person to judge since I’m neither a native speaker nor a linguist. I’m fine with disqualifying ara.

If we allow for scientific names, the winner would probably be “Aa”, the name of a type of plant.
But I personally would not count them, as not part of everyday language.
I asked an AI if it could come up with other suggestions. It burned up 5000 tokens while thinking and successfully found “Alabama”.
So I think banana lost its first place in any case…
