Etymology

Uncertain. Possibly ultimately from a derivative of Proto-Indo-European *h₂enh₁mos, a nominal derivative of *h₂enh₁- ‎(“breathe”) (see अन् ‎(an, “to breathe”)). Compare Ancient Greek ἄνεμος ‎(ánemos, “wind, breeze”), Old Armenian անձն ‎(anjn, “person”) and հողմ ‎(hołm, “wind”), Old Frisian omma ‎(“breath”), Latin animus, anima.
