Etymology

edit

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 (clearing, meadow).[1][2] 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).
