Maltese

Etymology

From Arabic ذَا‎ (ḏā, “this, that”). The -n is possibly from hawn (“here”). (Its deriving from an accusative ending is unlikely since the Arabic pronoun does not have such an ending. But compare xejn (“nothing”) from Arabic شَيْئاً‎ (šayʾan) for the basic possibility of Maltese reflexes of the indefinite accusative ending.)
