Etymology

[edit]

Marada in Aramiac and even in Arabic means the rebels I am not sure why its not mentioned in the article?

It has nothing to do with the Greeks and I doubt a Banu Murad is related to this since most the Marada were Arameans and Ghassanids

Merge

[edit]

I suggest that we merge Mardites and Marda articles into one article. This group is disputed, there has been several theories to explain their origin, theories such as:

I do not oppose a merge, but first I'd like to see some more sources. As both articles are at the moment, not much can be determined from them and what's what. — Aššur-bāni-apli (talk · contribs) 18:36, 16 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think a merge is prudent. The Mardaites are an ethnic group of admittedly disputed origin. The Marada were a group of self-governing communities set up by the Mardaites and others. Convention on WP is to separate articles about countries and regions from articles about people: hence German people/Germany, Bashkirs/Bashkortostan, etc. Briangotts (Contrib) 20:09, 16 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Merged... Name confusion only occurs in western languages as neither Syriac nor Arabic differentiate between the terms Maradites and Marada.--Rafy talk 19:10, 18 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
