köken: Borrowed from Classical Persian دف (daf), from Middle Persian 𐭣𐭯 (dp /dap/), ultimately from Sumerian 𒁾 (dub, “tablet”). The term was nativized (as opposed to the expected दफ़ (daf)), perhaps due to the influence of डमरू (ḍamrū).

Etimoloji
From Old Spanish pandero, from at least early Medieval Latin pandōrium (“piped instrument”), after Pan, according to Isidore of Seville, from Ancient Greek Πάν (Pán). Writing in thirteenth century Iberia, Juan Gil de Zamora, closely following Isidore but altering the passage, describes it as an instrument similar to the tambourine.
