Etymology
The Modern Greek word 'μαμά' meaning 'mom' is a term of endearment derived from child language, similar to 'mama' in many languages worldwide. It is a reduplicative form that likely originates from the natural sounds made by infants, which are universally recognized and adopted by various languages to refer to mothers.
