Marron is French, Spanish in Origin.

Marron is a unisex name with multiple roots. In French, marron means "chestnut," evoking the nut and a warm brown hue; in Spanish, marrón denotes the color brown. As an Irish surname, Marron anglicizes Ó Mearáin, from the Gaelic mear, "lively, quick," giving the name a spirited sense alongside its nature-and-color imagery.

As a family name in Ireland (particularly Ulster) and France, Marron has long been recorded; as a given name it has risen recently in English-speaking countries, fitting trends for word, color, and surname names. Related forms include Maron (also borne by the 4th to 5th century Saint Maron), Marren, Marrin, and the Italian surname Marrone; Spanish Marrón preserves the accent. Nicknames range from Mar to Ron/Ronnie. Depending on the chosen lineage, Marron can signify "chestnut/brown" or "descendant of Mearán," that is, "lively" or "spirited".
