Maral (مارال) is the Persian-Turkic word for the maral red deer (Cervus elaphus maral) of the Caucasus and Caspian highlands. A poetic feminine name across Iran, Turkey, Azerbaijan, and Central Asia.
Used widely in Iran and the Turkic-speaking world.
Maral does not currently appear in the US Social Security Administration's top 1,000 girls' names, so we don't publish a US rank or birth count for it. That says nothing about the name's standing elsewhere in the world — only that it sits outside the ranked US data we rely on.
In Pythagorean numerology the letters of Maral reduce to 9, The Giver. This is a traditional interpretive system, not a factual claim about the name.
