Etymology
From Old Norse fáni, from Proto-Germanic *fanô. Compare the Latin pannus (“a cloth; a rag; a garment”), German Fahne (“the flag of a nation, organisation, etc; a banner”) from Middle High German vano / van, from Old High German fano (“a flag”), from the Germanic root *fanō (cloth, flag), from Proto-Indo-European *pān (fabric) and the English vane from the Old English fana (“a flag”). See: Old Norse Nouns '
fáni'.
