Etymology

From earlier form شنبذ‎ (šambað) from late Manichaean Middle Persian 𐫢𐫖𐫁𐫅‎ (šmbd /šambad/) from early Manichaean Middle Persian 𐫢𐫖𐫁𐫎‎ (šmbṯ /šambat/, “Sabbath, Saturday”) (akin to Manichaean Parthian 𐫢𐫖𐫁𐫤‎ (šmbt /šambat/, “Sabbath, Saturday”)), from Aramaic שַׁבָּת‎ (shabát, “Sabbath”) from Akkadian 𒊭𒉺𒀜𒌈 (šapattum, “the middle day of the month”). Akin to Aghwan 𐕐𐔰𐕌𐔱𐔰𐕜 (šambaṭ), an Iranian borrowing.
