Interesting that they all (well, the ones I can read, anyway) seem to be about the fast or the forty days, not the "lengthening" the Anglo-Saxons were so happy about :)

The Irish and Welsh words have the same origin as the Romance (i.e. Latin Quadragessima) and the Korean and Chinese translate respectively to "four ten-day fast" and "great fast period". (Oddly, "four ten-day feast" seems to be more common in contemporary Korean.)
