From Middle English balled, ballid, bald (“bald”), of uncertain origin. Probably formed from Middle English bal, balle (“ball, round object, knoll, head”). Compare Old Danish bældet (“bald”).
An alternate etymology has Old English bǣl (“fire, flame; funeral pyre”) (from Proto-Germanic *bēlą), Albanian balë (“white spot on the forehead”) and ballë (“forehead”).
