About the etymology: Is it not from Ancient Greek χάρτης ‎(khártēs) as the word قرطاس?
 * There's always the possibility of coincidence. But I suppose there is a relation, particularly since there is a by-form . However, I don't know what kind of relation. The Greek word seems to be native. If so, maybe, was borrowed through a different path.
