מעראַוואַנאַ

→ Yiddish: מעראַוואַנאַ (meravana)

First attested in 1894 of uncertain origin. Alteration by influence of the proper name María Juana (“Mary Jane”) is believed to be folk etymology. According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the word may come from Classical Nahuatl mallihuan (“prisoner”), however, linguist Jason D. Haugen finds no semantic basis for an etymological connection, suggesting that the phonetic similarity may be "a case of accidental homophony". Another theory derives it from Chinese 麻仁花 (má rén huā, “hemp seed flower”), possibly itself originating as a loan from an earlier Semitic root *mrj, meaning "hemp".
