Etymology
From Ottoman Turkish ??? (beg), from Old Anatolian Turkish ??? (beg, “ruler”). Akin to Old Turkic ????????? (beg, “chief, titled man”), Old Uyghur [script needed] (beg, “lord, chief”), Karakhanid ????? (b?g, “chief, a woman's husband”).
There are different theories about the further etymology of the word.
- According to one theory the word may ultimately come from Middle Chinese ? (MC p?æk?, “hundred”), ? (MC p?æk?, “the head of a hundred men”), or ? (MC p?æk?, “eldest brother, father's older brother > count”) ~ ? (MC p?æk?, “hegemon”).
- Another theory states that the word may have its origins in Middle Iranian, specifically Sogdian [script needed] (baga, “lord, master”) or Old Persian ???? (BG, “god”), all from Proto-Iranian *bagáh, from Proto-Indo-Iranian *b?agás (“god”, literally “dispenser”). However, German Turkologist Gerhard Doerfer assessed the derivation from an Iranian language as quite uncertain and pointed out that the word may be genuinely Turkic.
Unrelated to Turkish bay (“gentleman”).
