The word "lamb" comes from Old English and shares a common ancestor with words for young animals in many other Germanic languages. Its ultimate origin traces back to Proto-Indo-European roots related to the concept of an animal or offspring, linking it distantly to terms like Greek élaphos meaning red deer.
