The word <em>father<\/em> is from Old English <em>f\u00e6der<\/em>, which came from a Proto-Germanic word <em>fader<\/em>, which came from a Proto-Indo European word <em>p\u0259ter<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>P\u0259ter<\/em> is also the source of the Greek and Latin words <em>pater<\/em>, from which we get words like <em>paternal<\/em> and <em>patriarchy<\/em>. So how did it go from <em>pater<\/em> to <em>father<\/em>? This is because of two linguistic phenomena called Grimm\u2019s law and Verner\u2019s law, which describe the process of transformation that certain consonant sounds went through over time in Germanic languages. The \u201cd\u201d sound transformed into the \u201ct\u201d sound, and the \u201cp\u201d sound turned into the \u201cf\u201d sound. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In\nEnglish, we also use the words <em>dad<\/em> and <em>papa<\/em>. The sound \u201cda\u201d is\none of the first sounds that any baby begins to make, along with the sounds\n\u201cma,\u201d \u201cba,\u201d and, \u201cpa.\u201d&nbsp; The theory is\nthat the ancient word <em>p\u0259ter<\/em> is a more complex version of the baby sound\n\u201cpa,\u201d which is where the words <em>pa<\/em> and <em>papa<\/em> come from. The same is\ntrue of <em>ma<\/em> and <em>mama<\/em>, and <em>da<\/em> and <em>dada<\/em>, shortened to <em>dad<\/em>.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-dada-papa-tata-and-baba\"><strong>Dada, Papa, Tata, and Baba<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Many\nlanguages use some form of the word <em>dada<\/em> as their word for father, and\nmany use both <em>dada<\/em> and <em>papa<\/em>. Greek, Latin, Czech, Sanskrit,\nSpanish, Polish, Romanian, Welsh, Yiddish, and Filipino all have a version of\nthe word <em>tata<\/em>, or sometimes <em>tad<\/em>, or <em>tatti<\/em>. Russian,\nSwedish, Spanish, Norwegian, Portuguese, Persian, Latin, Japanese, Korean,\nHungarian, Hindi, German, French, Icelandic and Dutch all have a version of the\nword <em>papa<\/em>, or <em>papi<\/em>. Turkish, Swahili, Nepali, Mandarin Chinese,\nZulu, Malay, Italian, Indonesian, and Arabic all have a version of the word <em>baba<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are outlier languages that do not use this format. For example, in some of the Uralian languages like Finnish, and Estonian, the word <em>isa<\/em> is used for father. In the Basque language, it\u2019s <em>aita<\/em>.&nbsp; In Irish and Scots Gaelic, <em>athair<\/em>. Somali, <em>aabe<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the Hawaiian language, the word is <em>makuak\u0101ne<\/em>; from <em>makua<\/em>, meaning generally, \u201cparents,\u201d and <em>k\u0101ne<\/em>, meaning, \u201cmale.\u201d&nbsp; In the Maori language, father is similarly, <em>matua t\u0101ne<\/em>, or just <em>tama<\/em>. The Samoan language also uses <em>tama<\/em>. In the Inuktitut language of the arctic north, the male parent is <em>ataata<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My sister and I have our own word for our father, which is Dado. &nbsp;I\u2019m not sure why we started calling him Dado, but we did, and it stuck. It\u2019s probably because my twin sister and I had trouble saying each other\u2019s names when we were toddlers, so I became Emo and my sister Abigail became Abo. Strangely though, our mom never got an \u201co\u201d nickname. She\u2019s just mom or mommy. After my sister adopted a dog, we decided our parents needed silly grandparent names, and we workshopped a few, deciding upon Meemaw for our mom, and Flip Flop for our dado. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-nicknames-for-grandfather\"><strong>Nicknames for Grandfather<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In general, it seems like people get more creative with their grandfather nicknames than their father nicknames, but my friend Frank called his dad Sarge. My friend Dawn calls her dad Yumpa.&nbsp; And my friend Jen calls her dad Guy or Hey Guy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do you have a nickname for your dad? Does it relate to your cultural or linguistic heritage?
