To answer the question, the word ‘mother’ is alleged to be one of the oldest words in the English language. It’s what is known as an ‘ultraconserved word’, which means that the word has not changed in 15,000 years and it’s one of only 23 words that claim similar provenance. Before you ask, no, ‘father’ doesn’t make the prestigious list. According t...
Etymology aside, the word ‘mother’ has numerous derivations depending on your social background. However, the greatest variations aren’t based on socio/economic circumstances but rather location, especially when another language has attached itself to the modern Germanic model, Gaelic for example. In Ireland, older versions of ‘mother’ are surprisi...
The most common difference occurs with one incarnation of mother and that’s the three-letter versions that are separated by a single vowel: 'mum', 'mam' or 'mom. Most of us will have picked up the US preference of ‘mom’, but they tend to pronounce it ‘marm’. However, the phonetic ‘mom’ pronunciation and spelling are still common in the West Midland...
For a start, ‘mom’ or ‘mommy’ isn’t a one-size-fits-all when it comes to the United States. ‘Mama’ is common in the southern states and ‘mother’ more popular on the East Coast, but the spelling of ‘mom’ or ‘mommy’ prevails.

An archaic Irish version is ‘momo’, and it’s been estimated that nearly two million people emigrated to the United States between 1845 and 1852. That’s a quarter of the Irish population in just ten years. Today one-sixth of the US population claim to have Irish ancestors, so it’s pos...
The above is all very well and good, but in reality, your personal preference for ‘mother’ will be based on your own family traditions. In all likelihood, it will have less to do with location or status and more to do with the literal mother tongue of your mother. Ultimately, what you call your mother is dictated to you by your parents.
According to academic research, in 900 babies aged 8 to 16 months from English, Cantonese, and Mandarin-speaking homes, ‘dada’ was the first word uttered by an infant. The same conclusion has been reached in dozens of other research cases too. This is because, according to ideas first explored by eminent psychoanalyst Jacques Lacan, the baby sees t...
