Detailed Slovak etymology analysis

Elmo sa vykladá najmä ako talianska krátka podoba germánskych mien zakončených na -elmo, napríklad Guglielmo a Anselmo; ich prvok helm znamená „prilba, ochrana“. Súbežne sa spája so starotalianskym Ermo, skrátenou podobou gréckeho mena Erasmus, ktorého základ erasmios znamená „milovaný, žiaduci“.
