Etymology

From Proto-Hellenic *wóinos (compare Mycenaean Greek 𐀺𐀜 (wo-no)), from Proto-Indo-European *wéyh₁ō; related to English wine, Latin vīnum, Old Armenian գինի (gini) etc.; according to the Oxford Latin Dictionary, "all probably from a common Mediterranean source". Perhaps instead from Proto-Indo-European *wóyh₁nom, possibly from the root *wey(H)- (“to twist”), thus meaning "that of the vine"; and related to dialectal ὑιήν (huiḗn, “grapevine”), possibly from Proto-Indo-European *wiHḗn, which would be a derivation from the same root.
