Source etymology 1
Original entry ↗An ancient Zoroastrian city in Persia, in modern Iran; modern Isfahan.
Borrowed from Latin Gabae, from Ancient Greek Γάβαι (Gábai), probably from Old Persian *Gaba-. Possibly corresponds to Middle Persian 𐭢𐭣𐭩 (gdy /Gay/, “Sasanian Isfahan”), Parthian 𐭂𐭀𐭁 (gʾb, “Sasanian Isfahan”), Arabic جَيْ (jay, “[capital of] Isfahan?”).
