Etymology
Borrowed from a surrounding language (compare Greek Βλάχος (Vláchos), Serbo-Croatian Vlah, Bulgarian влах (vlah), Old Church Slavonic влахъ (vlaxŭ)), from Proto-Slavic *volxъ, ultimately from Proto-Germanic *walhaz, used as an exonym by other peoples for Eastern Romance speakers. Cf. also Megleno-Romanian Vlași, a self-designation, and Romanian valah. See also armãn, the endonym for the people, more commonly used.
