Re: Meaning of word “Marvi”
The actual word is Marui (Mar-ee) which have changed to Marvi with the passage of time. Marui is one of the seven surmis (heroines) of Shah Abdul Latif Bhittai. A girl who was kidnapped by the then Somra King (13th Century), but she didn’t accept his offers of lavish lifestyle over her patriotism for her land and people. Marui is still considered as symbol of simplicity and courage in Sindh.
The word Marui literally means chand jaisi (as beautiful as moon)
