Proto-Finnic *tähti 'star', 'sign, mark, spot' from Proto-Finno-Permic *täštä 'star', 'sign, mark'. Cognate with Kildin Sami та̄ссьт (tāss’t) ''star, 'blaze', Erzya теште (tešte) '' and Eastern Mari тиште (tište) 'letter, symbol, character, sign'. According to Zhivlov (2015), possibly ultimately a substrate borrowing from the pre-Uralic languages of the Volga
