Etymology tree Ancient Greek ἀμυγδάλη (amugdálē)bor. ▲ Arabic لَوْز (lawz)sl. Latin amygdala Vulgar Latin *amendlader. Old French almandebor. Middle English almond English almond From Middle English almond, almaund, from Old French almande, amande, from Vulgar Latin *amendla, *amandula, from Latin amygdala, from Ancient Greek ἀμυγδάλη (amugdálē), of uncertain origin. Influenced by amandus and by many European words of Arabic origin beginning with the Arabic definite article Arabic ال (al-). Compare Spanish almóndiga and Portuguese almôndega (“meatball”) from Andalusian Arabic البُنْدُقَة (“hazelnut al-bunduqa”). Doublet of amygdala, amygdale, and mandorla.

* From the Middle English given name Almund, from the coalescence of Old English Æþelmund (literally “noble protector”) and Ealhmund (literally “temple protector”). * Variant of Allman (from Old French aleman (“German”) or alemayne (“from Germany”)) and Allmand (from Old French alemaund (“German”)), assimilated after almond by folk etymology.

According to John Reynolds, a historian of the town in New York, it was named for a place in Scotland, not the almond, which would most likely not have been available there then, hence the pronunciation is different. A native of it, James F. Moore, was the first postmaster of the village in Wisconsin.

Altered after almond from earlier Ammon, from Scottish Gaelic Àmain, from Proto-Brythonic *aβon (“river”). Doublet of Avon.
