In Newtonian physics mass is a primary and irreducible property, but in modern physics we can trace its origin, in important cases, to more basic principles. I will discuss our modern understanding of the origin of most of the mass of ordinary matter as energy, within QCD. I will also discuss another the generation of mass through the Higgs mechanism, highlighting recent discoveries. Finally, I will discuss forms of mass for which deep understanding is presently lacking.
