Mother is one of the surviving words from Anglo-Saxon (starting as modor), which are among the most fundamental words in English.
Mom, a shortened form of momma, was recorded in 1894; momma was first used in 1884. Both are chiefly North American uses.
Mamma and mama, are used by babies and children reduplicating an instinctive sound, are much earlier terms, showing up in the 1500s.
In between came mommy (also North American in usage) in 1848, which was a variant of mammy (also 1500s).
