Mar (title)

Mar (Classical Syriac: ܡܪܝ Mār(y), written with a silent final yodh), also Mor in Western Syriac, is an Aramaic word meaning "my lord". The corresponding feminine forms in Syriac are Mart and Mort for "my lady" (Syriac: ܡܪܬܝ, Mārt(y)).

A similar word Mar, meaning “lord,” is used in Jewish Babylonian Aramaic: מָר.

These titles are used in Judaism and Syriac Christianity.
