p. pleater writes
Are Oregano and Marjoram, Italian and French names for the same thing?
No. According to OED
Oregano is Spanish derivation from Oreganum and refers to Origanum
vulgare (or, in central and N America, Lippia)
Marjoram is of obscure etymology, and refers to any species of Origanum
Oregan = wild marjoram
Marjolaine = (sweet) marjoram
