Etymology

Not attested in Old or Middle Armenian, but in view of the Karabakh form with տա̈- (tä-) exhibiting Adjarian's law, the word is old. Related to Talysh дамбүл (dambül), Udi дамбул (dambul), дампӏул (damṗul), dialectal Avar дамбу́ли (dambúli), dialectal Lezgi дамбул (dambul), Budukh тӏомбул (tʼombul), Khinalug тӏумбол (ṭumbol, “plum”) and Middle Armenian դամոն (damon, “damson plum”).

Further probably related to Sanskrit जम्बुल (jambula), *जम्बून (jambūna), जम्बु (jambu, “jambul, Java plum”), and their Indo-Aryan descendants, on which see Turner, without the Armenian or Caucasian words.[1][2]

The ultimate origin is uncertain.
