Etymology 3

From Middle Persian (kwlk' /⁠kurrag⁠/, colt), from Old Iranian *kurna-ka-, a derivative of the Proto-Iranian root which gave Bakhtiari کر (kowr), Northern Kurdish kur (boy, son). Cognate with Northern Kurdish kurrik, Zazaki kurrî, kirrêk, kirri, kurik, kurrik, Talysh kırə, and akin to Middle Armenian քուռակ (kʿuṙak), Armenian քուռակ (kʿuṙak), քուռիկ (kʿuṙik), Aghwan 𐕣𐕒𐕡𐕙𐕒𐕡𐕄 (kuruḳ), Georgian ქორაკი (koraḳi), კურაკი (ḳuraḳi), კურატი (ḳuraṭi), კურიჰკაჲ (ḳurihḳay), კურიკაჲ (ḳuriḳay), კურია (ḳuria), ქვირანაჸი (kviranaʾi), ქვირა (kvira), კურო (ḳuro), Arabic كُرَّج (kurraj), Iranian borrowings.

Ultimately perhaps inherited from Proto-Indo-European and cognate with Hittite (kurka-, foal, colt), Hesychian Ancient Greek κύρνος (kúrnos, bastard son).
