§Etymology

The nominative Iuppiter comes from a vocative combined with pater, and essentially meant "father Jove": Proto-Italic *djous patēr, from *djous (“day, sky”) + *patēr (“father”). It is cognate with Umbrian 𐌈𐌖𐌐𐌀𐌕𐌄𐌓 (iupater), and in other Indo-European branches also Sanskrit द्यौष्पितृ (dyauṣ-pitṛ), Ancient Greek Ζεῦ πάτερ (Zeû páter, “o father Zeus”).

The main root Iov-, Iovis is from Proto-Indo-European *dyew- (“sky”) (also the source of Latin diēs). It is cognate with Ancient Greek Ζεύς (Zeús), Hittite 𒅆𒍑 (sius), Sanskrit द्यु (dyú).
