Summary/Abstract: Polish jarmułka is from Latin and not from Turkic or Turkish. This Polish word appears as early as the fifteenth century: a deed of purchase of 1443 mentions ‘two dozen little headdresses’ (jalmurky); a document issued in Warsaw in 1458 mentions a red yelmvncha (Słownik staropolski, vol. III, Wrocław, 1960–1962, s.v. (jarmułka)).
