انگبین
Persian
انگبین
Etymology
From Middle Persian [script needed] (DWBŠYA, ʾngpyn' /angubēn/, “honey”), from Proto-Iranian *Hangubáynah.
Cognate with Northern Kurdish hingiv, Zazaki engemin, Central Kurdish ھەنگِوین (hengiwîn) and Talysh انگوین (anqevin).
Probably not related انگ (ang), which means yellowjacket; instead related to انگم (angom, “resin”).
