Etymology
1. From Old Swedish fāne, from Old Norse fáni (“vain person, swaggerer”), but of unknown ultimate origin. Related to middle Danish fåne (“fool”). Perhaps related to or influenced by fjäll (“rock, cliff, mountain”). Compare also English fumble, Norwegian Nynorsk fomme (“clumsy fool”).
2. Possibly loaned into English, compare fun, fond. See: Old Norse Nouns '
fáni', English Nouns '
fumble', Norwegian Nynorsk Nouns '
fomme'.
