The Old Togarmite name for the language, ''Θēgarmīθ'', is thought to have been borrowed from a pre-Togarmite source *''Tāgarma''. The name ''Togarmah'' from the same source is also attested in the Hebrew Bible. The Greeks and the Romans used ''Θηγαρμιοι'' and ''Thegarmici'' respectively for the Togarmite people. The name shows the most striking feature of Togarmite, the shift of Proto-Semitic ''ā'' to ''ė'' /e:/, mirroring the Canaanite shift ''ā'' > [o:] occuring in its close relative Hebrew.
