"Marinus" meaning in Latin

See Marinus in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Proper name

IPA: [maˈriː.nʊs] [Classical-Latin], [maˈriː.nus] (note: modern Italianate Ecclesiastical)
Etymology: Nominalization of marīnus (“of or pertaining to the sea, marine”), an adjective cognate with Latin mare (“sea”). Versions of this name may derive from Aramaic מרא (marā /⁠mrʾ⁠/, “lord, master, ruler”), borrowed into Latin via Ancient Greek Μαρῖνος (Marînos), which could have been borrowed from either Latin or Aramaic, despite appearing Latin. Many individuals named Marinus appear throughout the ancient Roman world, but those whose names may have a Semitic origin may occur in regions with large Semitic-speaking populations such as Cyrenaica in Libya and in the city of Dura-Europos in Syria. The name appears chiefly in the ancient Roman and medieval Byzantine periods (2nd–8th century), as well as in inscriptions and papyri written during the Hellenistic and Roman periods, especially in Syria and Libya (4th century BCE – 4th century CE).
