انگبین

Persian
انگبین

Etymology

From Middle Persian [script needed] (DWBŠYA, ʾngpyn' /⁠angubēn⁠/, “honey”), from Proto-Iranian *Hangubáynah.

Cognate with Northern Kurdish hingiv, Zazaki engemin, Central Kurdish ھەنگِوین (hengiwîn) and Talysh انگوین (anqevin).

Probably not related انگ (ang), which means yellowjacket; instead related to انگم (angom, “resin”).
