Where it comes from

Inherited from Old Hindi आना (ānā), आवनां (āvanāṃ), from Prakrit आवइ (āvaï), आवेइ (āvei), from older *आपेति (āpeti), from Sanskrit आपयति (āpayati). Related to पाना (pānā). Cognate with Punjabi ਆਉਣਾ (āuṇā), Gujarati આવવું (āvavũ), Mewari आणो (āṇo), and Nepali आउनु (āunu).

The perfective form आया (āyā) is from Sauraseni Prakrit 𑀆𑀕𑀤 (āgada) + Middle Indo-Aryan -𑀓- (-ka-), from Sanskrit आगत (āgata), making it a doublet of आगत (āgat).
