Well, this thread is becoming a little disquieting, but I thought I'd through out some etymologies. Though there is some confusion amongst non-Roma as to whether the Roma came from Egypt (i.e., Gypsies) or Romania (i.e., "Romany"), the origin of the name of the people and their language is usually derived: rom 'man' which is akin to Prakrit d.oma 'man of low caste origin', Sanskrit d.om(b)a 'low caste male musician'.
