Etymology
From Middle High German lamp, in the 14th century also lam, from Old High German lamb, from Proto-West Germanic *lamb, from Proto-Germanic *lambaz. The loss of the b is reflective of a common trend in West Germanic languages; compare Dutch lam, Yiddish לאַם (lam), and the pronunciation of English lamb.
