Maroun (also Maron or Maro; Syriac:ܡܪܘܢ‎, Morōn; Arabic:مارون‎; Latin:Maron; Greek: Μάρων) was a 4th-century Syriac Christian monk whose followers, after his death, founded a religious Christian movement that became known as the Maronite Church. The religious community which grew from this movement are the modern Maronites.
