What is the meaning of the name Marmar ?

The baby name Marmar is a Unisex name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced MAR-mar,/ˈmɑr.mɑr/.

Marmar is Arabic, Persian, Turkish in Origin.

With roots in several Eurasian languages, Marmar ultimately derives from Ancient Greek mármaron/mármaros, “shining stone, marble.” The term passed into Persian as marmar and is also found in Armenian (Մարմար) and in the poetic lexicon of Urdu, all retaining the sense of polished, gleaming stone. As a given name it is modern and relatively rare, chosen for its luminous imagery - beauty, strength, and durability - rather than for religious or dynastic associations.

Marmar is used as a unisex name, though it tends to skew feminine in Persian- and Armenian-speaking communities and in parts of the Kurdish and wider diaspora. Variants and related forms include Marmara (influenced by the Sea of Marmara’s name), the affectionate reduplication Mar-Mar, and short forms Mar or Mara; it also appears as a pet name for Mar- names like Maria, Mariam, or Marwa. Meaning: “marble; gleaming, enduring.”
