marten

• n. mink; ermine
• n.（マルテン）人の名前；（イタリア語、ロシア語、フランス語、ドイツ語、英語、オランダ語、スペイン語）マルテン

古フランス語のmartre, ermineから。語源はPIE *martu, brideで、語源的には男性名詞のmarryと同じ。 おそらく、この動物が花嫁の姿勢にやや似て座ったり立ったりするためか、婉曲的な表現であろう。

marten (n.)

mid-13c., "skin or fur of the marten," from Old French martrine "marten fur," noun use of fem. adjective martrin "of or pertaining to the marten," from martre "marten," from Frankish *martar or some other Germanic source, from Proto-Germanic *marthuz (cognates: Old Saxon marthrin "of or pertaining to the marten," Old Frisian merth, Middle Dutch maerter, Dutch marter, Old High German mardar, German Marder, Old English meart, Old Norse m?rer "marten"), probably from PIE *martu- "bride," perhaps on some fancied resemblance, or else a Germanic euphemism for the real name of the animal, which might have been taboo.

In Middle English the animal itself typically was called marter, directly from Old French martre, but marten took over this sense in English c. 1400.
