Etymology

Uncertain. Mayrhofer draws a connection to Latin Mārs (originally Māvors, from either Proto-Italic *Māwortis or *Māmart-) and Oscan 𐌌𐌀𐌌𐌄𐌓𐌕- (mamert-).

Mayrhofer also notes that more authors assume a suffixal -उत् (-ut, “breathing”), from the root वा (vā, “to breathe”); compare वात (vāta, “wind”), which in the plural can also refer to the Maruts. For मर्- (mar-), he considers several origin possibilities:

• Proto-Indo-European *mer- (“sea”), whence Latin mare
• *mer- (“young man”), whence मर्य (marya, “man”)
• *mer- (“to flicker, twinkle”), whence Ancient Greek μαρμαίρω (marmaírō, “to flash”) and Sanskrit मरीचि (marīci, “ray of light”), a connection to which is also supported by Monier-Williams.
