Etymology
From Old Norse lón f (“calm section of a river, lagoon”), from Proto-Norse *luhnō (“inlet, sea loch”). Cognate with Norwegian Nynorsk lon, Persian [script needed] (lón, “seaside meadow”). Perhaps derived from ló (“clearing, meadow”). Ultimately part of the family of terms derived from Proto-Indo-European *lewk- (“bright”), referring to shining water. Germanic related terms include English lown (“shelter”), Danish lyn (“lightning”), Swedish lugn (“calm water”). See: Norwegian Nynorsk Nouns '
lon', English Nouns '
lown', Danish Nouns '
lyn', Swedish Nouns '
lugn'.
