Etymology

    Etymology tree
    Prakrit 𑀡𑀁𑀤 (ṇaṃda)
    Hindi नाँद (nā̃d)

    Inherited from Prakrit 𑀡𑀁𑀤 (ṇaṃda, “pot”), with further etymology unknown.

    • Compare the lexicographically attested Sanskrit नन्दा (nandā, “small earthen pot”), नन्दिका (nandikā). Turner reconstructs an ancestor *nānda, but not all cognates reflect the nasal cluster.[1]
    • Alternatively, Dasa suggests inheritance from Sanskrit नन्दक (nandaka, “giving delight”), but this is semantically unjustifiable.

    Cognate with Sindhi نادُ (nādu), Punjabi ਨਾਂਦ (nānd), Bengali নাদা (nada), Odia ନନ୍ଦିଆ (nandiā).
