Etymology

Uncertain. As the oldest meaning is "border", Mayrhofer prefers the connection to Avestan 𐬨𐬀𐬭𐬆𐬰𐬀 (marəza, “border region”) and Persian مرز (marz, “border”), from Proto-Indo-European *merǵ- (compare English march (“borderland”)) over the connection to *móri (“the sea”) (compare Latin mare, English mere (“lake”)).[1]
