Etymology

From Old Norse áll, from Proto-Germanic *ēlaz. The term is common Germanic, found in each Germanic dialect and absent outside. The presence of several words (awl, even ulna) with similar morphology and semantic would suggest an original meaning referring to the shape that was then ascribed to the fish.
