Etymology

Probably from Greek μάλαμα (málama, “gold”), compare Aromanian malamã (“gold”), Megleno-Romanian amálomă (“gold”), Albanian malamë (“gold”). The loss of the initial m can be attributed to influence from aramă (“copper”). Compare also Italian lama (“metal plate”), Serbo-Croatian lama, lim. See: Greek Nouns 'μάλαμα', Italian Nouns 'lama'.
