Etymology 2[edit]
Uncertain, multiple theories exist.[1] What is certain is that the term never originally meant "whitethorn".
- Peter Schrijver believes the Ogam letter name is an extension of the meaning "fear", with the ogam letter originally denoting /ɸ/.
- Deborah Hayden and David Stifter derive this letter name from Latin iōta, itself from Ancient Greek ἰῶτα (iôta), and supposes that the letter originally denoted /j/.
