Ετυμολογία (Αγγλικός)

Συγγενές με Γερμανικά: Sankt Joachimsthal

Συγγενές με Δανικά: daler

In summary

Attested since the mid-16th century, from early Dutch daler, daalder, from German Taler, Thaler (“dollar”), earlier Joachimsthaler, literally “of Joachimstal”, the town where the original dollars were minted. The name means “(Saint) Joachim's valley”, from Joachim + Tal. Possibly reinforced by the Dutch leeuwendaalder, which was also used in the American colonies. Doublet of taler.
