Origin disputed; possibly via игла́ (iglá, “needle”), although spurious, due to theorized inheritance from Proto-Slavic *jagla (“grain”) in ягли́ка and subsequent reduction to егли́ка and ultimately игли́ка; cognates of ягли́ка include Serbo-Croatian јаглика, whereas parallels of агли́ка are drawn in Romanian aglică and Albanian aguliçe. Another reckoning postulates Greek άγλυκος (áglykos, “bitter”) as the origin.

From Proto-Slavic *olьxa ~ *jelьxa (“alder”). Bulgarian descendants stem from variants with prothetic *j-, which has been subsequently eliminated (except dialectally).
Originally, the word seems to have referred broadly to any deciduous tree or even generally to any arboreal plant. This sense was apparently used in naming the Christmas tree. Since Christmas in Bulgaria occurs during winter, the later is traditionally made of some type of evergreen conifer. Eventually, this caused semantic drift towards coniferous trees. The similarity to (etymologically unrelated) ела́ (elá, “fir”) may have also facilitated the shift. Compare Russian ёлка (jólka, “spruce”) (< *edlъka).

* Duvernois: Borrowed from Romanian or together with the Romanian lemma - inherited from a Paleo-Balkan substrate.

Bulgarian Etymological Dictionary
Petar Skok

Per the Bulgarian Etymological Dictionary, the word is likely a blending of several words with different etymologies:
* from ясми́н (jasmín) with a loss of the initial я- (ja-), consistent with a dialectal meaning of "wild jasmine";
* from Ottoman Turkish سیمین (simin, “silvery, silver”) from Classical Persian سیمین (sēmēn, “silvery, silver”), with a loss of the unstressed first -и- (-i-), and consistent with the appearance of the dwarf everlast;
* with alternate forms шмен (šmen), шмин (šmin) - from Ottoman Turkish چمن (çemen, çimen, “green field; fenugreek”), from Classical Persian چمن (“lawn; meadow”);
* citing Skok and others, from смил (smil) with a change from -л (-l) to -н (-n).
