Etymology

From Proto-Indo-European *Dyḗws ph₂tḗr. By surface analysis, द्यौस् (dyaús, nominative singular of द्यु (dyú, “sky”)) +‎ पितृ (pitṛ́, “father”). Cognate with Proto-Italic *djous patēr (whence Latin Iuppiter), Ancient Greek Ζεῦ πάτερ (Zeû páter), Illyrian *Dei-pátrous.

• (Vedic) IPA^(key): /djɑ́ːwʂ.pi.tŕ̩/

     विश्व॑ आदित्या अदिते स॒जोषा॑ अ॒स्मभ्यं॒ शर्म॑ बहु॒लं वि य॑न्त॥
