Etymology edit

Borrowed from Ancient Greek ῠ̔́αινᾰ (húaina), reinforced by German Hyäne (from Early New High German hienna, from Old High German hijēna), in turn borrowed from Latin hyaena, which is also borrowed from Ancient Greek. Possibly partially inherited from Old East Slavic оуѥ́на (ujéna). Cognate with Russian гие́на (gijéna) (from Middle Russian иѥ́на (ijéna)) and Russian Church Slavonic гїена (giena). First attested in the 17th century.
