"亚洲和非洲用作载重畜的大型反刍动物",古英语 camel,可能通过古北法语 camel(古法语 chamel,现代法语 chameau)传入,源自拉丁语 camelus,源自希腊语 kamelos,源自希伯来语或腓尼基语 gamal,可能与阿拉伯语 jamala “承载”有关。
这种动物的另一个古英语词是 olfend,显然是基于在一个时代和地点中,两者都未知但旅行者的模糊描述中混淆了骆驼和大象。这种混淆在早期的日耳曼语言中普遍存在(哥特语 ulbandus,古高地德语 olbenta,古撒克逊语 olbhunt,古诺尔斯语 ulfaldi)。还可参考 camelopard。在这两种不同的物种中,阿拉伯骆驼有一个驼峰(轻型的纯种品种是 dromedary); 布绒骆驼有两个驼峰。记录于1919年的 camel-walk 舞蹈风格。
