Etymology

Cognate with Italian
Italian
nino
Cognate with Sicilian
nicu
In summary

Inherited from Vulgar Latin *ninnus, probably imitative of infantile language; also could have originated from Latin minimus. Compare also Italian nino and Sicilian nicu. Compare English nun for an English word that is formed similarly from imitative origin of infantile speech, as well as possibly nanny and nana.
