Possibly derived from Chinese 夾板／夹板 (jiābǎn) or 夾槾／夹槾 (jiāmàn, “boards for pressing or holding things together”),^[1][2] modern Min Nan reading kiap-pán. Another proposed etymology is Dutch Dutch kabas (“bag”), likely introduced through the Japanese-Dutch trade during the Edo period.

The original meaning of the kanji 鞄 referred to tanned leather or a tanner who produces such material. The native reading (kun'yomi) kaban only appears from the Meiji period (1868–1912).^[2]

First attested with this reading to a work from 1877;^[2] over the period of roughly 1877–1887, this word grew in popularity and displaced the previous term 胴乱 (dōran, “satchel”).^[2][3]
