Persian
Etymology
From Middle Persian [script needed] (mwlwʾlyt' /morwārīd/), [script needed] (mlwʾlyt /marwārīd/) (Book Pahlavi), 𐫖𐫇𐫡𐫇𐫀𐫡𐫏𐫅 (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] In this case, ultimately related to *mr̥gáh (“bird”).
Akin to Manichaean Parthian 𐫖𐫇𐫡𐫃𐫀𐫡𐫏𐫅 (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.
