Etimoloji (İngilizce)

Ortaçağ İngilizcesi öğesinden devralındı: sterling

In summary

Possibly from Old English *steorling, from steorra (“star”) and -ling, in reference to the stars that appeared on certain English pennies. Alternatively, the first element may be *stēre, meaning “strong” or “stout” (compare the etymology of solidus).
