Borrowed via a Turkic language from Persian جیران (jêrân), from Middle Mongol (ǰērän, “antelope”),[1] from Proto-Turkic *yẹgren (“yellow, chestnut”).
Compare Azerbaijani ceyran (“gazelle”), Kyrgyz жейрен (jeyren, “goitered gazelle”), Turkish ceylan (“antelope, gazelle”), Uzbek jayron (“goitered gazelle”).
Also compare Russian дзере́н (dzerén, “dzeren, Mongolian gazelle”), from Kalmyk зеерң (zeerñ, “antelope”) or Mongolian зээр (zeer, “gazelle”), from Proto-Mongolic *jexeren, commonly derived from Proto-Turkic *yẹgren (“yellow, chestnut”), whence also Kazakh жайран (jairan, “dzeren, Mongolian gazelle”).
джейра́н • (džejrán) m anim (genitive джейра́на, nominative plural джейра́ны, genitive plural джейра́нов)
Often used as the main word for "gazelle", since it is the species most familiar to Russian-speakers, although газе́ль (gazélʹ) also exists.
