Disputed. Possibilities include:

• From Proto-Italic *faf-īnā f (literally “related to fava beans”). Animals were fed such to facilitate their pregnancy. Neither the /h-/ nor /-b-/ would be expected outcomes, and would imply the word to be borrowed from a neighboring Italic variety: compare Faliscan haba (“bean”), from Proto-Italic *fafā.
• From Proto-Italic *agʷn-īnā f (“ewe lamb”), with later dissimilation of the first /-n-/. The /h-/ would have emerged by influence of Proto-Italic *haidos (“goat”), unattested in Umbrian, but found as Latin haedus.

habina f

1. a sacrificial animal, disputedly one of the following (see Etymology):
   1. (female) stud, breeding animal, most probably a sow
   2. ewe lamb
