Etymology 4

Unknown. There was an ancient Northwestern Iranian people called the Μάρδοι (Márdoi, “Mardes”) or Ἄμαρδοι (Ámardoi, “Amardes”), a term presumably identical to Persian مرد (mard, “man”). But identity with the Aramaic word above for a “fortified place, stronghold”, as which the place is described in ancient sources, is more straightforward.
