Etymology

From Old Norse faðir (ONP)

Shetland use

An Etymological Dictionary of the Norn Language in Shetland (1928–1932)

Jakobsen, Jakob

*fader, sb., father. Barclay has “faadir”; “aa” prob. denotes a long a as usually with Barclay in his Suppl. to Edm. — Now comm.: feder [(fēdər) fɛ̄dər] or fæder [fǣdər], doubtless acc. to L.Sc. pronunc. (Jam. has: fader). — In Low’s notation of the Foula-ballad the word is written “fy” (for *fȳr) and in def. form “fyrin (feyrin)”, prob. to be pronounced “fai(r)” and “fairin” respectively (Eng. long y = ai). ð is dropped in the pronunc. (cf. Fær. “fæajɩr”, and cf. Shetl. brui, brother, and *mara, mother). — O.N. faðir, m., father.
