난추니

Korean

Etymology

First attested in the Hunmong jahoe (訓蒙字會 / 훈몽자회), 1527, as Middle Korean 나친 (Yale: nachin), from Middle Mongolian ᠨᠠᠴᠢᠨ (način, “falcon”) (whence Mongolian начин (način)); ultimately from an unknown Central Asiatic source. Compare also Common Turkic *lāčïn (“falcon”) and its descendants, such as Azerbaijani laçın, Turkmen laçyn and Kazakh лашын (laşın).
