Etymology 1

Borrowed from Arabic آل (ʔāl).

Noun

آل (âl)

  1. (literary or historical) family, lineage, house

Etymology 2

Émile Benveniste claims that āl-γonak, the precursor of modern آلگونه (âlgune), is attested and connects this to the Persian female name Ἀλογούνη (Alogoúnē) mentioned in Ctesias.[1] Harold Walter Bailey suggests that this is a merger of two Proto-Iranian roots, *āla- and *harda-, cf. Avestan 𐬵𐬀𐬭𐬆𐬛𐬀 (harəda).[2] Walther Hinz similarly posits Proto-Iranian *Hr̥da- from Proto-Indo-European *h₁rewdʰ- (red) and suggests that this is the source of آلو (âlu, plum) and آله (âloh, eagle),[3] though the latter is also traced to a different Indo-European root. The link to Proto-Turkic *āl is likely coincidental, or otherwise the Turkic is from Iranian.
