Etymology

The Old East Slavic word oladya as a proper noun is first attested in 1470. As a dish, it is first mentioned in Domostroy, the 16th-century Russian book of household rules, instructions and advice. The word derives from Ancient Greek ἐλάδιον, diminutive of ἔλαιον, "olive oil", "oily substance".[16]

The word latke denoting potato pancakes in Jewish cuisine is derived from oladka.[17][18]
