"child"(无论性别或年龄),"儿子或女儿",古英语 bearn"孩子,儿子,后代",源自原始日耳曼语 *barnan(也包括古撒克逊语 barn,古弗里西亚语 bern,古高地德语 barn"孩子"; 在现代德语和荷兰语中已失去),源自 PIE 词根 *bher-(1)"携带",也指"生育孩子"。
最初是一个通用的英语单词,在现代英语中仅限于18世纪以后的英格兰北部和苏格兰(compare child)。荷兰语、古高地德语 kind 、德语 Kind 来自史前的 *gen-to-m "出生",源自与拉丁语 gignere 相同的词根(参见 genus,并比较 kind(n.))。中古英语中有 bairn-team "一窝孩子"。
