Forms: 1600s orffe, 1600s urffe, 1800s orf, 1800s orph, 1800s– orfe.

Origin: Probably of multiple origins. Probably partly a borrowing from German. Probably partly a borrowing from French. Etymons: German Orfe; French orphe.

Etymology: Probably partly < early modern German Orfe, Orf, Orphe, Urf, German Orfe (Middle High German orve, orfe, Old High German orvo) < classical Latin orphus (see below), and partly < French orphe, †orfe (1562 in Middle French) < classical Latin orphus a fish, probably a sea perch (Pliny) < ancient Greek ὀρϕός, more commonly ὀρϕώς, ὀρϕῶς, a kind of sea perch, cognate with ancient Greek ὄρϕνη darkness, Hellenistic Greek ὀρϕνός dark (of unknown origin), the name apparently alluding to the dark brown colour of the sea perch.

A silvery cyprinid fish, Leuciscus idus, related to the chub and dace, which is native to rivers and lakes in northern Eurasia and has been introduced in lakes in Britain and elsewhere. Also (more fully golden orfe): a yellow variety of this fish, kept as an ornamental pond-fish. Also called ide.
