Etymology
1. From Middle High German van(e) m, from Old High German fano, from Proto-West Germanic *fanō, from Proto-Germanic *fanô (“cloth, flag”), from Proto-Indo-European *pān- (“fabric”).
2. The shift to the feminine gender began in cognate Middle Low German vāne and, through Central German, established itself in the written language by the end of the 17th century.
