The word "salmon" originated from the Old French word "saumon," which came from the Latin word "salmo," meaning "fish." It is believed that the Latin word "salmo" ultimately came from the Proto-Indo-European root "salm," which means "to jump." This likely refers to the salmon's ability to leap out of water.
