Maryanaj (Persian: مريانج, also Romanized as Maryānaj; also known as Marjān and Marjāna)[2] is a city in the Central District of Hamadan County, Hamadan Province, Iran. At the 2006 census, its population was 9,442, in 2,518 families.[3]
Name
The name Maryānaj is derived from Middle Persian *margānag, from Old Persian *margā- plus the suffix -ānag; it is related to the Middle Persian mlw' (vocalized /marw/) and Parthian mrg (vocalized /marγ/), both meaning "prairie", and to the Avestan marəγa and Modern Persian مرغ (marğ), both meaning "plant".[4]
In the dialect of Hamadan, the name is pronounced Maryāneh (مریانه), a form influenced by Middle Persian; in the local dialect of Maryanaj itself, the name is pronounced Margāneh (مرگانه), an older form influenced by Northwestern Middle Iranian languages.[4]
