Etymology

From Proto-Baltic *awinas, from Proto-Indo-European *h₃éwis (“sheep, ram”). Cognates include Lithuanian ãvinas, Old Prussian awins, Old Church Slavonic овьнъ (ovĭnŭ), Russian ове́н (ovén). These terms are formed from *h₃éwi-, originally a term for sheep in general (possibly derived from *ew-, *Hew- (“to dress”), i.e. “(animal) dressed (in wool)”), with a suffix *-in to distinguish male sheep. Other terms derived from *h₃éwi- include Old Church Slavonic овьца (ovĭca), Russian, Bulgarian овца (ovca), Belarusian аўца́ (awcá), аве́чка (avjéčka), Ukrainian вівца́ (vivcá), Czech ovce, Slovak ovca, Polish owca (“ewe”), Gothic 𐌰𐍅𐌴𐌸𐌹 (awēþi, “herd of sheep”), Old High German ouwi, ou (“ewe”) (< *awī), Hittite ẖawi-, Sanskrit अविः (áviḥ), Ancient Greek οἶς (oîs), Latin ovis. See: Belarusan Nouns 'аўца́', Czech Nouns 'ovce', Slovak Nouns 'ovca', Polish Nouns 'owca', Gothic Nouns '𐌰𐍅𐌴𐌸𐌹', Ancient Greek Nouns 'οἶς', Latin Nouns 'ovis'.
