Etymology

The origin is uncertain.

Perhaps from յ- ‎(y-) +‎ Proto-Indo-European *o-gʷʰhon- or *o-gʷʰno- (compare Sanskrit आहनस् ‎(ā-hanás), Persian آگندن ‎(āgandan), آگن ‎(āgan-, “to fill”)), from *gʷʰen- ‎(“to swell, abound”) and cognate with Sanskrit घन ‎(ghaná, “compact, solid, hard, firm, dense”), Ancient Greek εὐθενής ‎(euthenḗs, “in abundance”), Lithuanian ganėti ‎(“to suffice”), Old Church Slavonic гонѣти ‎(goněti, “to suffice”).

As an alternative, Martirosyan connects with Ancient Greek ὄχλος ‎(ókhlos) and hypothetically assumes a common borrowing of substrate origin.
