Etymology
1. Unknown origin. Cognate with Middle High German gabilun, gampilŭn (in myth).
2. Perhaps from Romance, compare Spanish gavilán. Or perhaps related to már, from Proto-Germanic *maiwaz (“gull, seagull”), also of uncertain origin and possibly imitative. Connecting it to German Geier (“vulture; greedy person”) has been met with rejection. See: Spanish Nouns '
gavilán'.
