To je jedno od mogućih tumačenja.
Ne mora biti tačno. '

Pa reci TVOJE MišljENJE i tumacenje o tome.
AKO ga imaš. Ako ne nisi ni morao da se javljas.

Tabanac, znam da ti je drago sto nemas nikakve veze sa Srpskim istoricarima(sto NIJE tema ovog topika), ali NAZALOST imaš veze sa NEMACKIM 'istoricarima', koji su sve ovo i zakuvali a zakuvavaju i dalje iz sve snage.
Tvoje objašnjenje za belo-bjelo-bjalo-balkan je totalno, dibidus, bez veze sa logikom po meni.
A da je Balkan turska reč, a ne 'staroslovenska', tu nema 'dvojbe'.

Evo šta sam nasla u vikipediji:

Etymology

The region takes its name from the Balkan Mountains in Bulgaria and Serbia. The term „Balkan” is generally believed to come from Turkish balkan, meaning „a chain of wooded mountains.”[3][4] Alternately, the name may have derived from the Persian bālkāneh or bālākhāna, meaning „high, above, or proud house,” and brought to the region in the 12th and 13th centuries by Turkic tribes who applied it to the area.[5] The name is still preserved in >>>Central Asia<<< with the Balkan Mountains[6] and the Balkan Province of Turkmenistan.'

Znaci IPAK TURSKA, ne Persijska.

'In classical antiquity (and until the Ottoman conquest), the region was referred to in Greek and Roman sources as the „Peninsula of Haemus”. The mountain range itself was known as the „Haemus Mountains”, the name itself being of possibly Thracian etymology.'

Znaci u 'anticko' vreme po grckim i rimskim izvorima .'poluostrvo' je imalo SRPSKO ime, odnosno Tracko ime. Hem, Helm, Hum. Rusi kažu Holm, za planinu.

'On a larger scale, the mountains are only one part of a long continuous chain of mountains crossing the region in the form of a reversed letter S, from the Carpathians south to the Balkan range proper, before marching away east into Anatolian Turkey. The Balkan Mountains include the Stara Planina (Old Mountain) mountain range in Bulgaria and part of Serbia. On the west coast, an offshoot of the Dinaric Alps follows the coast south through Dalmatia and Albania, crosses Greece, and continues into the sea in the form of various islands'.

Znaci u antici Srpska reč, pa onda praznina, pa onda 1808.g. neki nemacki 'istoricar' odlucio da se to nazove TURSKOM reci i SVI jednoglasno prihvatili.
Mnogo mocan bio taj 'istoricar'.
