Etymology 1

From the Nabataean letter 𐢓 (m, mim), derived from the Phoenician letter 𐤌 (m, mem), from the Egyptian hieroglyph 𓈖. See also Classical Syriac ܡ (m, mīm), Hebrew מ (m, mem), Ancient Greek Μ (M), Latin M.

  1. The thirteenth numeral symbol of the Arabic alphabet (traditional abjad order, used for list numbering), written in the Arabic script; preceded by ل (l) and followed by ن (n).

Etymology 2

From Proto-Semitic. Sometimes thought to be derived from the pronouns present in Arabic مَا (), Hebrew מה (, what), and مَن (man), מי (, who), so that, for example, مُدَرِّس (mudarris, teacher) is originally من يُدَرِّس (man yudarris, he who teaches). Compare also Arabic مَكْتُوب (maktūb) versus Hebrew כתוב (kāṯūḇ), both meaning “written”, with prefix in Arabic, but without in Hebrew.
