Morphology

Marwari = Marwar (transparent) = Marwar + i

The breed name is derived directly from the region name using the demonymal suffix '-i' (a standard place→breed naming pattern).

Etymology

The word Marwari for the horse comes from Marwar, the desert region where the breed was raised, so the name points to its place of origin. A helpful image to remember it is a strong desert horse with inward-turning ears, and that is why a Marwari is a horse 'from' Marwar.
