Albanian
Etymology
A development of mediaeval Albanian Muzaka, likely through Italian Musacchia, though the ultimate origin of the name is unclear:
- A local Albanian derivation would be from Albanian mëzak (“young calf”);
- Johan Georg Von Hahn derived it from Illyrian;
- Gjon Muzaka from Ancient Greek Μολοσσοί (Molossoí);
- Zef Jubani from Ancient Greek μουσική (mousikḗ).
