Origin: IE [Indo-European] [321] *h₃neh₃m-n̥, * h₃nh₃m-n- `name'

Etymology: Old word for `name', with Arm. anun \< * onomn- \< * anomn- (with o \> u before m) to be immediately compared; anun can be both * h₃nh₃mn and * h₃neh₃mn; the Greek word must have zero grade, * h₃nh₃mn. Also Phrygian ονομαν may have ο- from * h₃- (Kortlandt SCauc. 7(1987)63). The e elsewhere has diff. origin; Alb. emër (Geg.), êmën (Tosc.) may be a loan from Latin nōmen; for OPr. emmens m. see below on Slavic; the Greek ἐ- is not well explained, but it may be due to dissim. against the following o \< h₃; cf. below on Tocharian; the Greek u-vowel, also in ὄνυμα, ἀνώνυ-μος a.o., is due to assimilation (cf. Schwyzer 352 with several hypotheses). The other languages have one of the two ablaut-grades: Lat. nōmen = Skt. nā́ma, IE *h₃neh₃mn̥, Germ., e.g. Goth. namo n., IE * nh₃mōn-; OFr. nōmia, MHG be-nuomen, Dutch be-noemen (which is an every-day word) have * h₃neh₃m- again (Beekes, Sprache 33 (1987) 1ff. Diff. again Slav., e.g. OCS imę (\< *h₃n̥h₃m-), Celt., e.g. OIr. ainm (from * anmen- \< *h₃n̥m-), Toch. B ñem, A ñom (from *nēm-with h₁ from dissim. of the second h₃?; s. v. Windekens Orbis 11,607 w. lit.). Most complicated is Anatolian: Hitt. lāman- n. (\< * h₃neh₃m- like Latin), with l- from dissim. and loss of the h₃-; lamnii̯a- `name' from * h₃nh₃m-; but Hier. Luw. adama(n)-za with a- from h₃. With ὀνομαίνω agree in formation Germ., e.g. Goth. namnjan `name', Hitt. lamnii̯a- `id.' (cf. also Schwyzer Mél. Pedersen 65 on ὀνομ-αίνω, - άζω). The orig. n-stem still clearly seen in νώνυμν-ος \< *n̥-h₃nh₃mn-; younger is ἀνὼνυμος. -- Details from several languages w. lit. in WP. 1, 132, Pok. 321, W.-Hofmann and Ernout-Meillet s. nōmen, Mayrhofer s. nā́ma, Vasmer s. ímja etc. Cf. on ὄνομαι.
