Etymology

Unknown origin; due to the date of its record appearance, it seems less likely to be from German Tannenbaum, although it may play a factor in its later association with Christmas. The connection to Hittite 𒄑𒋫𒈾𒀀𒌑 (GIŠta-na-a-ú /⁠tanau⁠/, fir) also is a challenge due to the lack of intermediaries; for more see Tanne. Perhaps there is a connection to ن ي ب (n-y-b) in نَاب (nāb) dealing with sharp points, with Semitic glosses like “fang, tusk, pincer, honeybee, stingers, shaped like a long tooth”. This could be a reference to either the sharp and pointed pine needles, or even the general pointed cone shape of the tree.
