History:
The name 'Marais' is derived from the Old French word 'marais,' meaning 'marsh.' The name may have originated in Normandy, where the name was first recorded in the 10th century. The Marais family is said to descend from the Count of Maine, who was born in 1039. The Marais family's ancestral home was in the town of Marais-la-Forêt, in the Normandy region.
