@TheOrs @SenseiRat After doing a 2 minute read on Wikipedia about the name marid, my guess is the water aspect comes from people with a Western European background conflating it with the Latin word for sea which is mare. That’s what I did when I saw the word. It’s definitely a false cognate though.
