Latvian
[edit]Etymology
[edit]From Proto-Balto-Slavic *jauˀnás, from Proto-Indo-European *h₂yéwHō.
In Latvian, this word broadened its meaning to include also “new,” replacing a previous *naujs (“new”) (compare Lithuanian naũjas (“new”)). Cognates include Lithuanian jáunas (“young”), Old Prussian *jaun- in names of people (Jawne, Javne, etc.), Sudovian iaunis, Old Church Slavonic юнъ (junŭ), Russian ю́ный (júnyj), Ukrainian юний (junyj), Czech jinoch (“young man”), Gothic 𐌾𐌿𐌲𐌲𐍃 (juggs), German jung, English young, Sanskrit युवन (yúvana), Latin iuvenis.
