Are Oregano and Marjoram, Italian and French names for the same thing?

I have both, bought from the same source by mail order and apart from a
slight colour difference they appear same/similar, although I can't
comment on taste as I haven't yet used them.

P.P.



Origanum vulgare IS marjoram. And if you want to be correct and pronounce
the latter as the Italians do it's oREGano, not the English Oregahhhno! ;-))
