Unknown, but the following theories have been proposed by Lytkin (1970):
* An ultimate derivation of Ancient Greek Ἀσία (Asía) (via related words in other languages), with the semantic development "Asia" > "continent to the east" > "east". See there for further etymology.
* Alternatively, a borrowing from an Iranian language (compare Sogdian [Term?] (“high”)), with the semantic shift "high" > "high mountains" > "Ural mountains" > "mountains to the east" > "east".
