Etymology[edit]

From Middle Persian [script needed] (mwlwʾlyt' /⁠morwārīd⁠/), [script needed] (mlwʾlyt /⁠marwārīd⁠/) (Book Pahlavi), [Manichaean needed] (mwrwʾryd /⁠morwārīd⁠/) (Manichaean), 𐬨𐬏𐬭𐬀𐬎𐬎𐬁𐬭𐬍𐬝 (mūrauuārīt̰ /⁠mūravārīt̰⁠/) (Pazend), from Old Persian *margārīta-, according to Beekes, possibly from Proto-Iranian *mŕ̥ga-ahri-ita- (oyster, literally born from the shell of a bird).[1]

Akin to Manichaean Parthian [Manichaean needed] (mwrgʾryd /⁠morγārīd⁠/), Sogdian [script needed] (mrγʾrt(h) /⁠marγārt, marγārit⁠/), Pashto مرغلره (murğalara), Khotanese [script needed] pl (mrāhe, pearl), Central Kurdish مرواری (mirwarî). Possibly related to Sanskrit मञ्जरी (mañjarī). Also compare Ancient Greek μαργαρίτης (margarítēs), Old Armenian մարգարիտ (margarit), Old Georgian მარგარიტი (margariṭi), მარგალიტი (margaliṭi), Iranian borrowings.
