Nguồn gốc từ

From nan + -y. The root is from nana (grandma; nanny), which is from nanna (grandmother), which is possibly derived from *nana (grandmother). See also, nain grandmother, nana, nana, nanna, nonna, nonna, nonne, nonain. All probably ultimately from a Proto-Indo-European - root of a child babbling, similar to νάννα.
