Etymology

Uncertain, but some have connected it to Proto-Indo-European *Heh?s- (“ash tree”), the same source as English ash, Old Norse askr, Welsh onnen, Latin ornus (“wild mountain ash”), Lithuanian úosis, Russian ?????? (jásen?), Albanian ah (“beech”), Ancient Greek ???? (oxúa, “beech”), Old Armenian ???? (hac?i). The connection stems from the assumption that Indo-Europeans used hollowed out ash trees as boats and skiffs.
