Of uncertain etymology, derived from a conflation of Aramaic קולסיתה and Aramaic קולנייא both forms of unknown origin with suggested connections to:
* Latin calautica (“coif”) in particular its Vulgar Latin calantica form
* possibly Ancient Greek κόρῠς (kórŭs, “helm, headgear”)
* seeming to be a Persian headdress in particular suggests such a source; perhaps ultimately from Middle Persian [script needed] (kwlʾp̄ /kulāf, kulāv, kulāw/, “cap, bonnet”) or Middle Persian [script needed] (kwlʾc /kulāč/, “bun, round bulb; hence a base to wrap a turban around”), cognate with Persian کلاه

To its dominion then Old South Arabian 𐩢𐩨𐩦𐩩 (ḥbs²t) referred. In Egyptian the inhabitants of Punt were repeatedly called ḫbztyw, ḫbstyw, interpreted as from ḫbs, ḫbz, ḫbzwt (“beard”), however the moniker’s status as an actual demonym instead of just meaning literally “bearded ones” is doubtful, as well as the capability of the Egyptians to impose their term upon Aksum to be her endonym, for it to become the copiously attested Sabaean 𐩢𐩨𐩦𐩩 (ḥbs²t /ḥabaśatu/) and 𐩱𐩢𐩨𐩦 (ʾḥbs² /ʾaḥbūśu/, “Abyssinians”) too. Possibly originally referring to an emigrated Yemenite tribe, reflected in the (now Saudi) toponyms وَادِي حَبُوش (wādī ḥabūš) and جَبَل حُبَيْش (jabal ḥubayš) as well as جَبَل حَبَشِيّ (jabal ḥabašiyy) whose residents are called الْأَحْبُش (al-ʔaḥbuš).

صفد

ar-proper noun

صَفَد • (ṣafad) f

In view of the restricted meanings, exposing only denominal verbs, probably an Aramaic borrowing, with the original form seen in Classical Syriac ܨܦܕܐ (ṣep̄dā, “book binding; pitcher of wine”), evidently only two fragments of a more general meaning, suggested by Jewish Palestinian Aramaic צפד (ṣfd, “to weave”). The other Arabic form صِفَاد (ṣifād) is secondary, a pattern popular for fasteners and instruments of a certain kind, see شِكَال (šikāl), or even back-formed in dialects from the plural as with زِنَاد (zinād) instead of زَنْد (zand). Probably to be traced to a biliteral root, found in ܨܦܘܦܐ (ṣappūp̄ā, “fetters, clogs”), Arabic ضَفَّ (ḍaffa, “to push, to throng, to jam”), extended in Arabic ضَفَرَ (ḍafara, “to weave, to plait”), while صَفَّ (ṣaffa, “to line”) may be an Aramaic borrowing again. Arabic كِبْل (kibl) and قَيْد (qayd) are also Aramaisms.

Arab conquest of Armenia
Arsacid dynasty of Armenia
Sasanian Empire

In most of the time this city was relevant and the Arabs have expanded thus far it was chiefly populated by Kurds, so potentially mediated by Proto-Kurdish, otherwise obtained via Middle Persian during the conquest of the Sasanian Empire culminating in the Arab conquest of Armenia, which must have obtained this word from Parthian as the settlement was built 335 under Arsacid rule, however searches for Iranian origin have been in vain, leading to the suspicion of the Arsacids bringing a Turkmen name from their homeland. As Ardabil was even less known it is neither known whether it contains the same word.

He named it Shahr-i-Islâm, ‘the City of Islam’, and enclosed it with a wall 3000 paces in circuit built of mortared stones. The surrounding districts were very fertile, growing cotton, corn and much fruit. Its river, called the Âb-i-Ûjân, rose in an eastern spur of Mount Sahand. To the south-west of this mountain, and about 60 miles from Tabriz, being four leagues from the shore of the lake, was the great village of Dâkharraḳân, as Ibn Ḥawḳal and the Arab geographers spell the name, which the Persians write Dih Khuwârḳân.
