Spoon is derived from Old English spón, meaning chip of wood (Compare Old Norse spann, sponnchip/splinter, spoon; Swedish spån a wooden spoon); possibly from Proto-Germanic spænuz, (compare Middle Low German spon wooden spatula); possibly from Proto-Indo-European spē length of wood (compare Greek σφήν [sphēn] wedge).
