Meaning & usage
gull, seagull
Where this word comes from
From Late Middle High German mēwe (Strasbourg, 1449), borrowed from Middle Dutch mêwe (along the Rhine) and Middle Low German mêwe (in East Prussia and along the Elbe), both from Proto-West Germanic *maiwā, from Proto-Germanic *maiwaz, which see. The bird was not entirely unknown in High German-speaking areas, but was restricted to the shores of the large rivers, along which it travels southwards in the winter; therefore its Germanic name was not inherited. Older dialectal designations include Alemannic German Alenbock and Holbrot.
