Etymology 2

Borrowed from Classical Persian (šāma). All descendants rather reflect a dialectal form *شامی (*şami), which may have arose by conflation with شامی (şami, “Damascene”), for which compare the similarly formed یمنی (yemeni, “headscarf”, literally “Yemeni”).

Noun

شامه • (şame)

shawl, veil, headscarf worn by women
Synonyms: باش اورتوسی (baş örtüsü), یمنی (yemeni)

Descendants

Turkish: şami, şamı (dialectal)

→ Macedonian: шамија (šamija)
→ Romani:
Balkan Romani: šamija, šamia, šamuja
