Etymology

Some have tried a connection with Old Armenian ներկ (nerk, color), deriving both from a Proto-Indo-European root *(s)negʷro-, because often the deer and the hind are called after their variegated color (compare πρόξ (próx, roe deer) and περκνός (perknós, dusky)). Others derive it from Proto-Indo-European *negʷ- (naked).
