- /ˈmurmuɾa/
From Ancient Greek μορμύρος mormýros (striped seabream) ↳ Origin uncertain; Strömberg derives it from μορμύρω mormýrō (to roar, to boil), reading the fish as the bubble-blower, while Beekes does not dismiss a Pre-Greek substrate origin ↳ The connection with μύρω mýrō (to flow, trickle) is not convincing
Striped seabream, sand-dwelling
