Persian
Etymology
From Middle Persian [Term?] (/*mōm/). Akin to Northern Kurdish mûm (“candle”), Central Kurdish مۆم (mom, “candle”), Southern Kurdish موم (mum, “wax”), and Old Armenian մոմ (mom), an Iranian borrowing.
Further origin uncertain. Perhaps a borrowing from a Semitic language, from Proto-Semitic *māy- (“water, liquid, sap”); compare Akkadian 𒀀 (mū). The final -m could be from a plural suffix (the word being a plurale tantum in some languages) or from reduplication; compare Hebrew מים (mayim).[1]
