Etymology
A mix of the inherited Old Danish swan, from Old Norse svanr, from Proto-Germanic *swanaz (“swan”), from Proto-Indo-European *swenh₂- (“to sound, resound”); and the borrowed Middle Low German swane, from Old Saxon swan, from Proto-West Germanic *swan. Cognates include German Schwan, Dutch zwaan and West Frisian swan. See: Old Norse Nouns '
svanr', German Nouns '
Schwan', Dutch Nouns '
zwaan'.
