Etymology

From Proto-Balto-Slavic *is; compare Proto-Slavic *jь (“he, she, it”) > Old Church Slavonic и (i), Czech jenž, jež (“that, who”). In the modern Slavic languages, these forms are reflected only in the oblique forms of *onъ; see for more. Ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *éy *h₁é (“this one, he”); compare Latin is (“he”), Gothic 𐌹𐍃 (is, “he”), Sanskrit अयम् (ayám, “this one”).
