Etymology

[edit]

From Sogdian *Suγδa << *Sukδa << *Sukuδa << *Sukuda, from a Proto-Iranian root that also gave Proto-Scythian *Skuδat (see Old Persian 𐎿𐎤𐎢𐎭𐎼 (Skudra, “Thrace”) and Ancient Greek Σκύθης (Skúthēs, “Scythian”)), ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *(s)kewd- (“to propel, shoot, drive forth”).[1]

Or Sug(u)da (literally “the burnt land”),[2] cognate with Sogdian 𐼼𐼴𐼲𐽂 (swɣt) and Ossetian сугъдӕг (suǧdæg).
