[edit]From ماه (mâh, “moon, month”) + ـین (-in, relative suffix).
From Middle Persian 𐭡𐭩𐭥𐭧 (byʿḥ /māh/), from Old Persian 𐎶𐎠𐏃 (m-a-h /māha/), from Proto-Iranian *mā́Hah, from Proto-Indo-Iranian *mā́Has, from Proto-Indo-European *mḗh₁n̥s (“moon, month”), probably from *meh₁- (“to measure”). Compare Sanskrit मासीन (māsīna, “monthly, one month old, of a month”, adjective).[1]
