Tajik

English

From Persian ‎ (Tâjik, “non-Turk (of Central Asia)”) (akin to ‎ (Tâzi), ‎ (Tâzik)), (ultimately) from Middle Persian tʾcyk' (Tāzīg, “Arab”), (ultimately) from Arabic طَيِّء‎ (ṭayyiʾ, “name of an Arab clan”).

Popular folk etymology traces the word to Tajik тоҷ (toj, “crown”) (see Arabic تَاج‎ (tāj), from Persian ‎ (tâj, “crown”)), but this is false.
