Etymology

[edit]

As one of the first utterances many babies are able to say,baba (likemama,papa, anddada) has come to be used in many languages as a term for various family members:

  • father: Albanian, Arabic, Western Armenian, Chinese, Hindi, Urdu, Punjabi, Bengali, Greek, Marathi, Mingrelian, Nepali, Persian, Swahili, Turkish, Yoruba, Shona, Zulu
  • grandmother: many Slavic languages (such as Bulgarian, Russian, Czech and Polish; adoublet ofbubbe), Romanian, Yiddish, Japanese
  • grandfather: Azerbaijani, Zulu (father, grandfather)
  • baby: Afrikaans, Sinhala, Hungarian

These terms often continue to be used by English speakers whose families came from one of these cultures. In some cases, they may become more widely used in localities that have been heavily influenced by an immigrant community. Some senses were extensions of one of these family terms in the original languages ("old woman" from "grandmother", "holy man" from "father"). The "cake" sense comes throughFrench, fromPolishbaba(old woman). The Middle Eastern wordbaba (as inAli Baba) is rather a term of endearment, and is ultimately derived fromPersianبابا(bābā,father) (fromOld Persianpāpa; as opposed to the Arabic wordsأَبُو(ʔabū) andأَب(ʔab); see alsoPapak), and is linguistically related to the common European wordpapa and the wordpope, having the sameIndo-European origin. The Chinese word "baba", meaning father, comes from爸爸.
