Etymology
From pre-Germanic *bukō ~ *bukkaz < Proto-Indo-European *bʰug-ōn ~ *bʰug-n-ós, from root *bʰuǵ- (‘goat, buck, ram’) (Kroonen 2013). Proto-Celtic *bukkos (‘goat’) is likely a loan from (Matasović 2009a). Cognate with Old Armenian բուծ (buc, ‘lamb’), Persian بز (boz, ‘goat’), Avestan 𐬠𐬏𐬰𐬀 (būza) (būza, ‘ram’), Sanskrit बुख (bukha) (bukha, ‘male goat’).
