hop tu naan.

Brit.

/ˌhɒp tuː ˈneɪ/, U.S.

/ˌhɑp tu ˈneɪ/, Manx English

/ˌhɒp t(ʃ)uː ˈneɪ/,

/ˌhɒp t(ʃ)ᵿ ˈneɪ/

Forms: also with capital initial(s).

Origin: Of uncertain origin. Perhaps an arbitrary formation.

Etymology: Origin uncertain, perhaps an arbitrary set of syllables taken from the song cited in quot. 1845, which is traditionally sung on the night of 31 October (the Manx version of the song has hop dy naa).Arbitrary syllables of this kind, sometimes quite elaborate, are common in traditional songs in Ireland, Scotland, and the Isle of Man, both in the respective Celtic languages and in English; in Manx, they are attested since the 18th cent. Earlier names of the night itself in the Isle of Man are Hollantide n. and Manx Oie Houney , lit. ‘Samhain eve’ (compare discussion at Samhain n.). Alternative suggestions. It has also been suggested that the expression is of the same origin as hogmanay n.; however this is unlikely for phonological reasons. A further suggestion that it is from a reported Manx phrase *shoh ta'n oie ‘this is the night’ is unlikely for grammatical and phonological reasons.

Manx English.

The night of 31 October as celebrated on the Isle of Man, often marked by children singing songs door-to-door and the display of lanterns carved out of turnips. Also more fully hop tu naa night.Hop tu naa is often considered to be distinct from Halloween, though the way in which it is celebrated has been influenced considerably by the ways in which the latter is marked in the United Kingdom and United States.
