Etymology 1

Unknown.

An equation with Proto-Indo-European *h₁élem or terms reconstructed for it, Old Armenian թեղի (tʿełi), Ancient Greek πτελέα (pteléa), all meaning “elm”, is possible, per a communication of Lameen Souag.

Federico Corriente’s Dictionnaire du faisceau dialectal arabe andalou reckons it possible to equate the Arabic dendronym, which in the Middle Ages encompassed نَشَم أَسْوَد‎ (našam ʔaswad, “elm”, literally “black elm”) and نَشَم أَبْيَض‎ (našam ʔabyaḍ, “nettle tree”, literally “white elm”) (else called قَيْقَب‎ (qayqab) and مَيْس‎ (mays)), with Egyptian nšmt meaning types of “feldspar”, a variety of minerals widely occurring in the earth and employed to carve items, sharing thus properties and functions of the woods of the trees, a particular colour of which or the multifarity of colours of which would have stood model for Hebrew תִּנְשֶׁמֶת‎ (tinšémeṯ, “chameleon”).
