Marett

Marett is a surname that has appeared in English-language biographical and academic contexts. The best-known bearer is Robert Ranulph Marett (1866–1943), a British ethnologist and anthropologist who contributed to the study of religion and ritual during the early development of modern anthropology. Marett’s work helped shape understanding of how religious ideas arise and are practiced across different societies, and he held academic positions in Britain throughout his career.

Beyond this principal figure, the surname appears in various biographical records, typically among scholars and professionals in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. As a result, Marett is principally recognized in historical and academic circles rather than as a contemporary public figure or widely referenced term.
