MARU BIHAG

Rag Maru Bihag is a very pleasant night melody. Does any one know where the name comes from? This rag's origination is from kalyan thaat and it's a blend of Kalyan and Bihag. What does the word Maru mean?

Dear Kalpit,
Maru Bihag is a creation of Alladiya Khan, possibly the
greatest genius of ICM who lived during the last century.
It is one of the ragas that he acknowledged to have created it;
for most of the jod ragas and other ragas, he seems to have said
that it comes from some folk tradition, or an adaptation of two
ragas, without staking a claim of creation.
Is this true?? Would explain why Ashok Da Ranade called it "aprachalit" in his article about Kesarbai Kerkar given that everyone sings it nowadays
