Throughout their history, Jovlers were referred to by names such as "(east) English", "(west) Saxon", "Dutch", etc. The endonym {{lang|jovl|sc=Jovl|"öggeş"}} (öggeş) and its derivatives come from Middle Jovlish "elggisć" /ˈɛu̯ɡɡɛʃ/, a common metathesized form of "egglisć" /ˈɛɡ(ː)lɛʃ/ ("English") which was one of the terms used by Jovlers to refer to themselves colloquially, aside from "seaxisć" /ˈsiɐ̯ksɛʃ/, "éaæ̈lisć" /ˈjɔu̯wælɛʃ/, "teutonisć" /ˈtɛu̯tɔnɛʃ/, and "łormánisć" /ʁɔrˈmɔu̯nɛʃ/. Both "elggisć" and "egglisć" ultimately are from Old English "[https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Englisc#Old_English englisċ]", thus making {{lang|jovl|sc=Jovl|"öggeş"}} (öggeş, "Jovlish") and {{lang|jovl|sc=Jovl|"egleş"}} (egleş, "English") doublets. | |||
The exonym "jovlish" used in English and many other languages such as German "jovalisch", French "jovalais", Arabic "{{lang|ar|sc=ar|ياولي}}" (yāwiliyy), Greek "{{lang|el|sc=el|γεβαλικός}}" (gevalikós), and Russian "ювалский" (juvalskij) all trace to either Modern Jovlish {{lang|jovl|sc=Jovl|"jóvleş"}} (jóvleş, "Jovlish (nationally)"), Early Modern Jovlish "''*jóvaleş''", or Middle Jovlish "éaæ̈lisć" /ˈjɔu̯wælɛʃ/. This endonym eventually fell out of use in favor of {{lang|jovl|sc=Jovl|"öggeş"}} (öggeş) linguistically, but it is still used gentilicly such as in {{lang|jovl|sc=Jovl|"Jóvaya"}} (Jóvaya, "Jovaia"). It comes from Early Middle Jovlish "éasægglisć" /ˈjɑːstˌæɡɡliʃ/, literally meaning "east english", in reference to their location relative to England and the English. | |||
