Etymology
From Middle Persian (mwlwʾlyt' /morwārīd/), (mlwʾlyt /marwārīd/) (Book Pahlavi), (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 (mwrgʾryd /morγārīd/), Sogdian (mrγʾrt(h) /marγārt, marγārit/), Pashto مرغلره (murğalara), Khotanese pl (mrāhe, “pearl”), Central Kurdish مرواری (mirwarî). Possibly related to Sanskrit मञ्जरी (mañjarī).
