Etymology: From Proto-Bodish *mak pa, from Proto-Tibeto-Burman *maːk (“son-in-law, genitals”). Compare Dzongkha རྨགཔ (rmagp, “husband”), and Galo magbo, Adi mak-bo, Mizo mâkpa; also compare Jingpho /da-maʔ/, Lepcha ᰕᰤᰩᰭ (myók), Southern Qiang /tʃɿ⁵⁵ ma³¹/ (Taoping), Northern Qiang /tʃɪ miɛ/ (Mawo), Situ /tə nmak/ (Ma'erkang / Barkam), Burmese သမက် (sa.mak), Lisu ꓟꓯꓸ ꓪꓵ (mǽ wy), S'gaw Karen မာ် (mạ).
