The etymology of the word itself is from Serbian old Slavonic language "pir" meaning dinning. And word "van" out, go outside. Which can be interpreted as getting out of grave and dinning 178.189.48.98 (talk) 10:53, 15 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Change "Serbian" to "Serbo-Croatian," as вампир entered Austrian German in the 1700s when literary standard Serbian wasn't yet differentiated as a separate entity from the later referenced Bosnian and Croatian. Linguistics' earliest reference of the language was Jacob Grimm's 1824 use of the term "Serbo-Croatian," making examples of Bosnian "вампир" self-evident and as autoreferential as saying Australian English "vampire" was borrowed from the British English "vampire." The way the article phrases it gives a chronologically confusing and incomplete look into the etymology of the word, and only stands to misinform the reader.

The fifth sentence of the first paragraph of the “Etymology and word distribution” section contains some egregious spelling errors and one questionable word usage. I am quoting the sentence here, with the errors italicized and my suggested corrections in parentheses.
“Oxford and others maintan (maintain) a Tukish (Turkish) origin (from Turkish uber, meaning "witch"), which passed to English via Hugarian (Hungarian) and French mediation (derivation).”
