:mao-wtf: mama and papa are basically the first things you can say. These words, or similar derivative words like mom, mum, mutter, mater, mami, mother, ma and so on are common to most languages even when there is no linguistic relationship, and get traded as loan words rapidly due to how easy they are to say for babies. So no, parental and other familial names are a key part of human culture, going back to the origins of language.
