- Inherited from Malay marga (“wild animal”), from Classical Malay marga, from Old Malay margga (“track, way”) (as in Talang Tuwo inscription (684 CE), compare to Balinese ᬫᬵᬃᬕ᭄ᬕ), came from above.

- The sense of road is a semantic loan from Javanese ꦩꦂꦒ (marga, “road”), came from above.
- The sense of family name is a semantic loan from Dutch familienaam (“family name”) as semantic extension of clan.
- The sense in taxonomy is a semantic loan from Dutch geslacht (“genus”, literally “linage, generation”) and Latin genus (literally “group; type, class; lineage, descent”) as semantic extension of clan.
