Etymology

Surely contains مَرْو (marw), which by itself is used for sage in Aramaic, though it is uncertain where it obtained the connection to مَرْيَم (maryam, “Mary”) in Arabic and Persian مریم گلی (maryam goli, “sage”), in view of which it is perhaps all the same word as مَرْزَنْجُوش (marzanjūš), maybe even مَرْمَاخُور (marmāḵūr); marjoram and oregano look very similar to sage and due to greater use were likely treated as archetypical to it.
