Detailed Slovak etymology analysis

Meno pochádza zo sanskritského Umā (उमा), mena hinduistickej bohyne stotožňovanej s Párvatí, Šivovou manželkou. Sanskritský základ je doložený, jeho prvotný etymologický význam však nie je spoľahlivo objasnený. Tradičný rozklad na u mā, približne „ó, nie!“, je mytologickým vysvetlením, nie bezpečne preukázanou etymológiou. Status unknown označuje neistotu pôvodného významu, nie sanskritského východiska.

Sources and scholarly methodology: Sanskritské východisko: Monier-Williams, Sanskrit-English Dictionary, heslo umā. Slovenské skloňovanie je aplikáciou pravidiel vzoru žena podľa Morfológie slovenského jazyka, s. 101, nie citáciou osobitného stanoviska k menu Uma. Heslo Uma v publikácii Milana Majtána nebolo overené. Štyri až sedem obľúbených slovenských zdrobnenín nemožno spoľahlivo doložiť, preto zostáva pole prázdne. Medzinárodné podoby uvádzajú zachovaný zápis mena, nie osobitné domáce ekvivalenty.
