Baba ({{lang-fa|بابا}}, {{lang-tr|baba}}, Hindi and Marathi: {{IAST|बाबा}}; Assamese and Bengali: বাবা; Sylheti: ꠛꠣꠛꠣ; Punjabi: ਬਾਬਾ; father; grandfather; wise old man; sir[1]) is a honorific term, of Persian and Turkish origin,[2] used in several West Asian and South Asian cultures. It is used as a mark of respect to refer to Hindu and Sikh ascetics (sannyasis) and is used as a suffix or prefix to their names, e.g. Sai Baba, Baba Ramdevji, etc.[1][2] Baba is also a title accorded to the head of certain order of Sufi monks, as in Baba Bulleh Shah and Rehman Baba.[1] The term was also adopted in Malaysia as an honorific of respect to address Chinese people born in British Straits Settlement.[3][4] Baba is also the familiar word for "father" in many languages (see mama and papa); in India it has even been adapted to address male children.[4]See also
