Etymology [edit]
From Middle Armenian *լաւաշ (lawaš), which is related to Middle Armenian լաւշ (lawš), Armenian լոշ. The ultimate origin is uncertain. Martirosyan compares լավաշ (lavaš) with dialectal լափ/լուփ (“palm, flat of the hand”), լափուկ/լեփուկ (“flat, polished stone for playing”) and assumes derivation from Proto-Armenian *law-, *lapʿ- (“flat”), with a suffix -աշ found also in մատղաշ, perhaps ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *lóHp-eh₂- or *léh₃p-eh₂- and cognate with Old High German lappo (“palm, blade of an oar”), Russian лапа.
