Etymology
Uncertain, a distorted word, with the р (r) presumably excrescent in compliance with Russian phonotactics, earlier гама́н (gamán, “purse, wallet”) which is still current usually in the extension гамане́ць (hamanécʹ) in Ukrainian; probably a Turkic borrowing, possibly with the Ukrainian and Southern Russian value /ɣ/ for г (g) specifically from (the early 18th-century version of) Chuvash хаман (haman, literally “durable”), also applied to fabrics and also to a skinbag, which would ultimately derive from Persian خام (xâm, “raw, crude”).
