Maryanaj (Persian: مريانج)[a] is a city in the Central District of Hamadan County, Hamadan province, Iran.[3]

Etymology

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]
