Etymology

Explained in some Vietnamese sources as being from a Bahnar phrase meaning "lake village". However, no such matching elements can be found, the closest is probably kơtu (“old abandoned village”). Even using possible "variants" of the first syllable (such as kông and kom, Bahnar's vowel length distinction also taken into account) yields little, except for maybe akŏm (“to meet together, to gather things”). In Bahnar, "village" is pơlei, while "lake, pond" is dơnŏu.
