elm: [OE] The tree-name elm is widely distributed throughout the Indo-European languages of Europe. Latin had ulmus, for instance (source of German ulme and Dutch olm) and Irish has leamh. Of the Germanic languages (those whose native forms have not been supplanted by Latin ulmus) Swedish and Norwegian have alm beside English elm.
elm (n.)
Old English elm, from Proto-Germanic *elmaz (cognates: Danish elm, Old Norse almr, Old High German elme), perhaps from PIE root *el- (2) "red, brown" (see elk); cognate with Latin ulmus, Old Irish lem. German Ulme, Dutch olm are from or influenced by the Latin word. The toughest native European wood, used for ship-building, wheel-naves, etc. Middle English had adjective forms elmen, elmin, which survived longer in poetry. New Haven was informally the Elm City (1871).
