Nguồn gốc từ

thumb|bank vole|Bank vole (Clethrionomys glareolus species) Borrowed from vollj, from Old Norse vǫllr (field), from Proto-Germanic *walþuz (forest). The Orkney dialectal term vole mouse, lit. “field mouse”, was introduced to general English by George Barry in 1805; John Fleming in 1828 was first to refer to the creature by the epithet vole alone.
