köken: Attested from the 13th century. Apparently an alteration with influence from maior (“greater”) of the form mezurana, ultimately from Sanskrit मरुव (maruva, “marjoram”). According to Roberts, however, it is simply a variant of amāracus. Attested from the 6th century, mezurana replaced Classical amāracus, which was also derived from the Sanskrit word.
köken: From Middle High German maioran, from Old High German maiolan, from Medieval Latin maiōrānus. Cognate with German Majoran. Possibly further reinforced by Polish majeran, Ukrainian майоран (majoran), Russian майоран (majoran).
