Etymology
From Proto-Mordvinic *aťa, probably from earlier *ätä, inherited from Proto-Finno-Permic *atta~*ättä, which is from Proto-Uralic *attɜ (“father, grandfather”). Potential cognates include Estonian ätt, Ingrian ätti, Hungarian atya.
Turkic and Indo-European origin has also been proposed. Compare Proto-Turkic *ata (“father”) and Proto-Indo-European *átta (“father”). Ultimately a Lallwort.
