Origin of bologna
From the Italian city of Bologna.
Probably from the Polari slang word balonie, respelled under the influence of the preceding homophonous word bologna (“sausage”); alternatively, perhaps simply an extended use of bologna (“sausage”). See baloney for more.
From Italian Bologna, from Latin Bonōnia, ultimately from Celtic. Doublet of Boleyn and Boulogne.
