Babbu is in Origin.

Babbu is a cross-cultural given name and nickname with roots in South Asia and the western Mediterranean. In Punjabi and other Indo‑Aryan contexts it is a pet form of Babu/Baba - terms of endearment and respect meaning “gentleman,” “sir,” or “father,” from widespread nursery roots ba-/pa-. In Corsican and Sardinian, babbu directly means “father,” paralleling Italian babbo; this shared baby‑talk origin lends the name a warm, familial feel.

Usage has ranged from affectionate household nickname to standalone given name, especially among Punjabi and Sikh families; the prominence of Punjabi artist Babbu Maan has reinforced its visibility. On Corsica and in Sardinia it appears as a traditional kinship term occasionally adopted as a name or byname. Variants and cognates include Babu, Baba, Babbo, Babai, Bappa, and Babul. While most common for boys, Babbu can be used unisex, carrying the sense of “beloved child” or “little father.”
