Etymology
1. Cognate of Norwegian laue, løya, løje, Danish løjer. Doublet of låga. See also Ancient Greek λευκός (leukós) as the name of a holy fish attested in the ode to Berenice by Theocritus (https://doi.org/10.4159/DLCL.theocritus-fragments.2015).
2. The name is due to the silvery flashes from the sides of the fish at its turns in the water. Compare etymologies for braxen and id. See: Danish Nouns '
løjer'.
