Section 1 · Arabic Root
Where the Name Comes From
Non-Arabic origin. Mārūt is preserved in Quranic Arabic but its root is debated. The pairing of Hārūt-Mārūt is itself a strong indicator of pre-Islamic Babylonian or Avestan angelological origin, preserved in Quranic revelation in Arabic form.

What People Usually Mean by This Name
Mārūt (ماروت) is the companion of Hārūt, the two angels named directly in the Quran at Sūrat al-Baqara 2:102, sent down to Babylon as a trial for humankind. The verse names the two together, and classical tafsīr, al-Ṭabarī, al-Qurṭubī, Ibn Kathīr, preserves them as a paired Quranic episode. As with Hārūt, classical commentators debate the precise nature of their mission (angels sent as test, the warning they delivered, the Babylonian setting) but the textual reading of two named angels is the dominant classical view.
Mārūt is named directly in the Quran at Sūrat al-Baqara 2:102 alongside Hārūt: '...what was sent down to the two angels at Babylon, Hārūt and Mārūt. But the two angels do not teach anyone unless they say: We are only a trial, so do not disbelieve...' The two angels are inseparable in the Quranic text and in classical commentary.
Classical Sunni tafsīr preserves Mārūt as Hārūt's companion, the two named angels of the Babylon test. The pre-Quranic origin of the pairing in Babylonian and Avestan tradition is acknowledged by some classical and modern scholars; the Quran preserves the two names within its own framework as a divinely-revealed test.
