Etymology

Related to μᾰκεδνός (makednós, “tall, slim”),[1] which is derived from Proto-Indo-European *meh₂ḱ- (“long, slender”).[2] Also related to Doric Greek μᾶκος (mâkos) and Attic Greek μῆκος (mêkos, “length”),[3] Μάκιστος (Mákistos) (the mythological eponym of a town in Elis and an epithet of Heracles), 𐬨𐬀𐬯𐬀𐬵 (masah, “length”), Hittite (maklant, “thin”), Latin macer (“meagre”) and Proto-Germanic *magraz (“lean, meager”). The same root and meaning has been duly assigned to the tribal name of the Macedonians,[4] which is commonly explained as having originally meant "the tall ones" or "highlanders" in Greek.[5]
