释义

名词

  1. 早年从中国南部地区移居马来半岛或印度尼西亚的华族男子，与当地女子通婚所生下的男性后代，称为“峇峇”。
  2. 用来指称华族男子与当地土族女子通婚所繁衍的族群。

DEFINITION

Noun

  1. A male descendant of interracial marriages between the early Chinese male migrants (before the 19th century) who migrated from southern China to the Malay Peninsula or Indonesia, and indigenous women from the region.
  2. The community and culture associated with the descendants of the above intermarriages.

由来
  • “峇峇”源自于波斯语，后传入印度，是对男性长辈的尊称。这个词语由印度人带入马来群岛，成为马来民族借用来称呼外籍长辈的尊称。
  • 后来“峇峇”用来指称早期华族男性与土族女性通婚所生下的男性后代，相当于“少爷”或“先生”的意思，也延伸为指称这一特殊族群。“峇峇”一词最早在文献出现是在18世纪的吧城华人公馆的《公案簿》。

ETYMOLOGY
  • The term “Baba” originated from the Persian language, and later spread to India. It was a formal term of respect for male elders. Indian migrants brought this term to the Malay Archipelago, and the Malays used it as a polite title for elders from other ethnic groups.
  • Subsequently, the term “Baba” was used to refer to male descendants of interracial marriages between Chinese men and indigenous women in the olden days, as well as the special community to which they belonged. The term has the meaning “younger master” or “mister”. It first appeared in the 18th-century book, Gong An Bu (《公案簿》), by the Chinese Council of Batavia (Kong Koan).
