Nonyan.

Brit.

/ˈnəʊnjə/,

/ˈnɒnjə/, U.S.

/ˈnoʊnjə/

Forms: 1900s– Nona, 1900s– Nonya, 1900s– Nyonya. Also with lower-case initial.

Origin: Of multiple origins. Partly a borrowing from Malay. Partly a borrowing from Indonesian. Etymons: Malay nona; Malay nonya; Indonesian nona; Indonesian nonya, nyonya.

Etymology: Partly < Malay nona and its Indonesian equivalent nona single woman (also as nonah; cognate with Javanese nonah in the same sense), and partly < Malay nonya and its Indonesian equivalent nonya, nyonya married woman (also as nyonyah; cognate with Javanese nyonyah in the same sense). Further etymology uncertain.It has been suggested that the Malay and Indonesian word may be of Portuguese origin ( < a shortened form of Portuguese senhora senhora n. or an altered form of dona ). A more convincing theory is that is Chinese: it could be a reduplicated form (perhaps in a regional variant) of niáng ma, mum, mother, form of address for an elderly married woman, young woman, and thus equivalent to English mama (compare mama n.¹, mama n.²). Other Chinese, as well as mixed Chinese and Portuguese, origins have also been suggesed. It could equally be a native Malay and Indonesian word: see Tan Chee-Beng Baba of Melaka (1988) 13–14 and 26.

1. In the Malaysian and Indonesian region: a woman, esp. one of Chinese, Chinese and Malay, or other mixed descent; a Peranakan woman. Cf. Peranakan n.; cf. also Baba n.⁴The sense in quot. 1934 is not represented in later use and is perhaps a misunderstanding.
