Etymology

A derivation from *aiwaz, *aiwō. The *-k- suffix is uncertain, but Kroonen favors a comparison with Latin iūgis (“continual”) and Ancient Greek ὑγιής (hugiḗs, “healthy, sound, wholesome”) from Proto-Indo-European *h₂yew-gʷih₃- and *h₂yu-gʷih₃- respectively, to assume a reconstruction of pre-Germanic *h₂oyu-gʷih₃- with an original meaning of “ever-living”.
