Ετυμολογία (Αγγλικός)

Early 17th century. Borrowed, perhaps through Dutch pinguïn (1595), from English penguin, which originally referred to the now extinct great auk. Further origin uncertain. Probably either from Welsh pen gwyn (literally “white head”), the great auk having two characteristic white patches near the eyes; or from Latin pinguis (“fat, plump”), referring to the plumpish appearance of both birds. Sources vary as to which theory is likelier.
