In summary

17th century, from Low German, from Middle Low German walnut, from Proto-West Germanic *walhahnut, from Proto-Germanic *walhaz (“foreign”) + *hnuts (“nut”). Cognate with Dutch walnoot, English walnut, and (from Middle Low German) Danish valnød etc. Equivalent to wal- (related with welsch) + Nuss; compare Middle High German welhisch nuz (alongside boumnuz). Possibly a calque of Latin nux gallica (or rather vice versa, the other way round, the Latin expression itself being a calque of German[ic]), but the name may merely describe the foreign origin as such; compare Finnish saksanpähkinä (literally “German nut”).
