köken: From Middle High German kornel- (“cornel”) + Kirsche (“cherry”). The first element, which is attested in Middle High German kornelboum and Old High German kornilboum, is from Vulgar Latin *cornicula, diminutive of Latin cornus (“European cornel”).
köken: Inherited from Old French cornolle, derived from Latin cornus with the suffix -ulla. Later influenced phonetically by the derived term cornouiller (“dogwood, cornel shrub”).
köken: From Proto-Turkic *kïŕïl (“red”). Thoroughly replaced the native Slavic word (дёрен (djóren) from *dernъ) early as also with Belarusian кізі́л (kizíl), while Ukrainian дере́н (derén) is still more common than кизи́л (kyzýl). Compare Ottoman Turkish قزلجق and Turkish kızılcık (cornelian cherry).
köken: kana (“chicken”) + -ukka. Coined by Finnish physician and philologist Elias Lönnrot; based on an earlier name kananmarja (literally “chicken('s) berry”).
köken: Either from Proto-Indo-European *ḱr̥h₂-nó-m, cognate with Proto-Germanic *hurną, from Proto-Indo-European *ḱerh₂- (“horn”), or a by-form of the synonym cornū from the same root.
Inherited from Ottoman Turkish قزلجق (kızılcık, “cornelian cherry”), from Old Anatolian Turkish قزلجق (qızılcuq). By surface analysis, kızıl (“red”) + -cık (“diminutive suffix”).
