Partial calque of Written Oirat ᠯᠣ᠊ᠫ
ᠨᡇᡇᠷ (Lob nuur), from ᠯᠣ᠊ᠫ (Lob) + ᠨᡇᡇᠷ (nuur, “lake”), where the former is itself of unknown origin from older times.
A detailed discussion on the etymology of this word can be found in Notes on Marco Polo, by French Sinologist Paul Pelliot. Compare English Lop Nur.
