Etymology

The word 'mammoth' comes from the Russian word 'mamont', which refers to a type of large, woolly elephant-like creature believed to be ancient. This term may have originated from the Komi-Permyak word 'mama', meaning 'earth', which hints at the belief that these creatures emerged from the earth upon humans discovering their remains. The French adopted the term in the early 18th century, and it was soon integrated into the English language. As it became more widely known through fossils and excavation sites across Europe and North America, the term 'mammoth' became synonymous with the larger, hairy species of elephants that once existed in prehistoric times.
