Etymology
First attested in the late 17th C. alteration of huzzah:. This is however questionable. Another plausible etymology is from Turkic war cry урра: (urra), which means encircle or surround in Tatar, made its way to Slavic languages as ура: (urá) in 12-13 century, and later to the languages: hurra: in German, Danish, Swedish and Norwegian and húrra: in Icelandic.
