is a city in the Central District of Hamadan County, Hamadan province, Iran.

== Etymology == The name Maryānaj is derived from Middle Persian *margānag, from Old Persian *margā- plus the suffix -ānag; it is related to the Middle Persian mlw' (vocalized /marw/) and Parthian mrg (vocalized /marγ‬‬/), both meaning "prairie", and to the Avestan marəγa and Modern Persian مرغ (marğ), both meaning "plant".
