Etymology

From Persian لیمو (lêmô, limu) (compare Tajik лемӯ (lemü), лимӯ (limü)), a loanword, probably from Indo-Aryan (compare Sanskrit निम्बू (nimbū, lime)). The form لُومِيّ (lūmiyy) is a separate borrowing introduced via Omani Arabic from Tamil எலுமிச்சை (elumiccai, lemon, lime), often meaning dried lemons traded as a spice specifically.
