Icelandic
[edit]Etymology
[edit]From Old Norse lón f (“calm section of a river, lagoon”), from Proto-Norse *luhnō (“inlet, sea loch”). Cognate with Norwegian Nynorsk lon, Persian [script needed] (lón, “seaside meadow”). Perhaps derived from ló (“clearing, meadow”).[1][2] Ultimately part of the family of terms derived from Proto-Indo-European *lewk- (“bright”), referring to shining water. Germanic related terms include English lown (“shelter”), Danish lyn (“lightning”), Swedish lugn (“calm water”).

[edit]Etymology 1
[edit]From Old Irish lón (“fat; provision(s), food, victuals, sustenance; feast”), with the shift in meaning towards “lunch” likely influenced by the resemblance to the English word, from Proto-Celtic *lawano- (“provisions”), from Proto-Indo-European *lewH- (“to cut off, separate”).
