Greek[edit]
Etymology[edit]
Uncertain. Possibly from Byzantine Greek Γόλος (Gólos), from Ottoman Turkish یولقاز (Yolkaz), یولقاس (Yolkas), from Ancient Greek Ἰωλκός (Iōlkós). The change in consonants stems from a 19th century attempt by learned scholars to link the name with the Ancient Greek term βόλος (bólos, “fishing net”) or βῶλος (bôlos, “lump of soil”).
