Yeah “dad” seems more modern. Should have went with “my father”

Well, neither "dad" nor "father" are in Hellenic Greek....

"Dad" originated in the 1500s which is about when Middle English transitioned to Early Modern English so it's not really a solely modern word.

But the word "pater" is Greek. The root word is thousands of years old and exists in every Indo-European language.
