Occurs in such form from the 18th century, ля́ма (ljáma) +‎ -ка (-ka), and with equal signification in Ukrainian ля́мка (ljámka), ля́ма (ljáma) and Belarusian ля́мка (ljámka).

Probably connected to Finnish lämsä and Karelian lamca and its Sami origins, while the similarity to Polish lamówka (border, edging) is coincidental, though there be a homonymic Belarusian ля́мка (ljámka, edge, ridge) borrowed from Polish lama, lamka (fringe, hem).
