Etymology

From Proto-Turkic *gȫk (“blue, green, 'macro-blue'; sky”). In Ancient Turkic, this archetype seems to have had a wide semantics of "blue + green + similar shades", partially retained in modern languages.

Cognate with Old Turkic 𐰚𐰇𐰚‎ (kök, “blue, sky”), Kazakh, Kyrgyz көк (kök), Shor кӧк, Turkish, Turkmen gök, Crimean Tatar kök, Tatar күк (kük), Uzbek koʻk (“blue”), Yakut күөх (küöx, “blue, green”).
