Marmarah is a place-derived given name with roots in Greek and Turkish.

The final -h is a stylistic variant in English.

As a personal name, Marmarah is a rare modern choice, most often feminine though usable unisex, appealing to parents drawn to luminous, stone-inspired meanings and to Istanbul/Marmara connections. Variants include Marmara (standard), Marmora (Italian/Latin-influenced), and Marmareh; short forms include Mara. Related word-names include Marble and Mermer.
