Etymology
editThe name Maryānaj is derived from Middle Persian *margānag, from Old Persian *margā- plus the suffix -ānag; it is related to the Middle Persian mlw' (vocalized /marw/) and Parthian mrg (vocalized /marγ/), both meaning "prairie", and to the Avestan marəγa and Modern Persian مرغ (marğ), both meaning "plant".[5]
In the dialect of Hamadan, the name is pronounced Maryāneh (مریانه), a form influenced by Middle Persian; in the local dialect of Maryanaj itself, the name is pronounced Margāneh (مرگانه), an older form influenced by Northwestern Middle Iranian languages.[5]
