Etymology

Borrowed from Ottoman Turkish قولان (kolan, “girth, girdle, belt”). Compare Romanian colan (“girdle”), Macedonian колан (kolan, “belt”), Serbo-Croatian колан (“girth”); other Turkish borrowings. Stefan Mladenov's proposal of Italian origin is only true for Romanian colan (“necklace”).^[1]
