Proto-West Germanic
Etymology
Uncertain; possibly from Proto-Germanic *dannǭ, from earlier *danwǭ, cognate with Hittite 𒄑𒋫𒈾𒀀𒌑 (GIŠta-na-a-ú /tanau/, “a type of tree”), and perhaps Sanskrit धनु (dhanu, “bow”), धन्वन् (dhanvan, “bow”) and Proto-Celtic *tannos (“green oak”). Alternatively related to *dani (“woodland pasture”), or borrowed from a substrate language.
