### Etymology

Perhaps related with mās (“male, a male”). According to de Vaan from Proto-Indo-European *morei-, *mori- or *morih₂- (“young woman”), developing into a pre-Italic *mārī-, with possessive *-to-. Compare Welsh morwyn (“girl, maiden”) (< Proto-Celtic *moreinā-), Welsh merch (“daughter”) (< Proto-Celtic *merkā), Ancient Greek μεῖραξ (meîrax, “boy, girl”), Sanskrit मर्य (márya, “young man; foal”), Bactrian μαρηγο (marēgo, “servant”) (< Proto-Indo-European *meri̯o-), Lithuanian merga (“girl”) (< Proto-Indo-European *mergh-eh₂-), Lithuanian marti (“daughter-in-law”) (< Proto-Indo-European *mor-t-iH-).
