Etymology

Inherited from Latin: māter

Cognate with Galician: mai

Cognate with Asturian: ma

In summary

From Old Galician-Portuguese mãy, nasalization of earlier *mae < *made, child-speech forms of madre, from Latin mātrem, the accusative of māter (“mother”). Doublet of madre.
Compare pai (“father”), which underwent a similar phonetic reduction from its root (Latin pater), but was not nasalized.
Cognate with Galician mai, nai, Mirandese, Leonese, and Aragonese mai and Asturian ma.
