Pronunciation

edit
  • IPA(key): /tɪ̀ɴ/
  • Romanization: MLCTS: tang • ALA-LC: taṅʻ • BGN/PCGN: tin • Okell: tiñ

Etymology 1

edit

Perhaps from Proto-Sino-Tibetan *s-tjaŋ (“top; to rise”). Luce gives Old Chinese 置 (OC *tɯɡs, “to place”) as a cognate,[1] though this comparison seems outdated.

This etymology is missing or incomplete. Please add to it, or discuss it at the Etymology scriptorium.
Particularly: “STEDT doesn't seem to mention the *s-tjan derivation - is there a source? Also, which sense is the "given name" referring to?”

Etymology 2

From Proto-Sino-Tibetan *m-daŋ (“buttocks; hips”); cognate with Jingpho [script needed] (dang, “buttock”) (STEDT). Luce additionally compares Old Chinese 膛 (“chest; hollow cavity”) (though the semantics are not a very good fit).[2]
