      “mama” is a cross-cultural word for mother. It’s the easiest word for a baby to pronounce.

        Probably the other way round when you think about it… Mums/mamas were named this way because it’s the first articulate thing babies say all over the world

          “M” is the most common consonant sound across the world’s languages precisely because of how easy it is to pronounce and recognize. All major languages have it or some kind of close enough equivalent
