Etymology

First attested in the Book of Sui as 𨈭羅 (MC *tham la), and in the History of the Northern Dynasties as 躭牟羅 (MC *dom mu la).

度百济，行至竹岛，南望𨈭罗国。 [Literary Chinese, simp.]
From: The Book of Sui, 636 CE
Dù Bǎijì, xíng zhì Zhúdǎo, nán wàng 𨈭luóguó. [Pinyin]

其南，海行三月有躭牟羅國，…附庸於百濟。 [Classical Chinese, trad.]

Shortened from 耽牟羅 (MC *dom mu la, “Tanmura”); whose last two moras are ultimately borrowed from Proto-Japonic *mora (“village, settlement”), via a Japonic substratum. Compare Japanese 村 (mura, “village, settlement”) and Middle Korean 물 (mwul, “group, crowd”).
