Marble is a non-foliated metamorphic rock composed of recrystallized carbonate minerals, most commonly calcite or dolomite. Geologists use the term "marble" to refer to metamorphosed limestone; however, stonemasons use the term more broadly to encompass unmetamorphosed limestone.〔Kearey, Philip (2001).

Beekes has suggested that a "Pre-Greek origin is probable."〔R. S. P. Beekes, ''Etymological Dictionary of Greek'', Brill, 2009, p. 907.〕

While the English term resembles the French ''フランス語:marbre'', most other European languages follow the original Greek—see Persian and Irish ', Spanish ', Italian ', Portuguese ', Welsh, Slovene, German, Norwegian, Danish and Swedish ''ドイツ語:marmor'', Romanian ', Polish ', Dutch ', Turkish ','' ''Czech ', and Russian ). In Hungarian it is called '.
