Etymology

Old Burmese variant spellings include ခရိုန် and ခြိုန်.

Probably Sino-Tibetan in origin. The word has been connected to Tibetan གྲོང་ཁྱེར (grong khyer, “city, town”), Old Chinese 鄉 (OC *qʰaŋ), and 巷 (OC *ɡroːŋs) by ʾU Phoh Lat. Also compare Jingpho hkringdat (“nat shrine”), Jingpho hkringmung (“village site”), and Thai กรุง (grung)).[1] That said, the -uing final, as well as the existence of Mon ခရိုင် (khariuŋ, “animal enclosure”), suggests that the possiblity of a Mon borrowing is not out of the question.

The sense of the core runner of an umbrella has a distinct etymon; compare Old Chinese 央 (*qaŋ, “middle”), Tibetan དཀྲུང (dkrung, “centre”), and Jingpho mărung (“centre”).
