I don’t think it’s a coincidence that “mama” is similar in many languages. Picture what a baby’s mouth does when nursing. It’s not much of a stretch to see how the infant would vocalize “ma-ma” when it wants to nurse. In fact, the word in Spanish for “nurse” is mamar.

The Latin word for “breast” is “mamma”, furthermore.

Good observation...do the same thing with "papa"...the opposite...going off the nipple...and what could cause that? Papa comes into the room!

In fact, the word in Spanish for “nurse” is mamar.And in German: Amme (not etymologically related to the Latin "mamma" = "breast").
