Origin
- Essentially all the Indo-European languages share the same first person singular pronoun, although naturally it has diverged in form over the millennia. French has je, e.g., Italian io, Russian ja, and Greek egṓ. The prehistoric Germanic pronoun was *eka, and this has produced German ich, Dutch ik, Swedish jag, Danish jeg, and English I. The affirmative answer aye ‘yes’ (16th c.) is probably ultimately the same word as I.
Origin & History of “me”
Me is an ancient and widespread word. It goes back to Indo-European *me, which is the source of the pronoun corresponding to me in all modern Indo-European languages (for instance German mich, Dutch mij, Swedish mig, French, Italian, and Spanish me, Greek me, emé, and Welsh and Irish mi). The derivative mine is equally ancient, but my is a later shortening of mine.
