Tagalog
[edit]Etymology
[edit]Uncertain. Possibly from the following:
- From Philippine Spanish tata (“daddy”) + -oy (“male diminutive suffix”). Compare Aymara tata (“father”).
- From Classical Nahuatl tahtli [1] or tata
- From Proto-Austronesian *tata.[2] Compare Raga tata.
- From Hokkien 大代 (tōa-tāi, “elder generation”).[3] However, Chan-Yap (1980) disagrees as the morphemes were never used in such a combination to mean “father”.[4]
