大约1300年, ballede,“在某些自然生长毛发的部位缺乏毛发”,其起源不确定。可能带有中古英语 -ede 形容词后缀,来自凯尔特语 bal “白色补丁,斑点”,尤其是在马或其他动物的头上(来自 PIE 词根 *bhel- (1)“闪耀、闪光、闪烁”)。
同源词包括梵语 bhalam “亮度,额头”,希腊语 phalos “白色”,拉丁语 fulcia “水鸟”(因其头部的白色斑块而被称为“秃头”),阿尔巴尼亚语 bale “前额”。但是,与 ball (n.1)相关联,基于“光滑、圆形”的概念,也已被建议,如果不是由此形成的,它早期与之相关联。中古英语 Compendium 表示它可能是在 ball 的根基础上形成的,并将其与老丹麦语 bældet 进行了比较。
有时是比喻性的: “瘦削的”(14世纪), “没有装饰的”(16世纪), “公开的,不掩饰的”(19世纪)。轮胎的花纹磨损,到了1930年时被称为 “ Bald eagle ”。
