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