Where this word comes from

Most likely borrowed from Swedish mor in the same way as faija from Swedish far. Alternatively, from dialectal Swedish mója (compare moja sig). First mentioned in a dictionary in 1786 as muuja, in its current form in 1823. Swedish moja may however be borrowed from Finnish due to its narrow distribution.
