• The construction of the early church in the 11th century marks the origin of the town. The name "Marolles-en-Hurepoix" found in the cartulary of the Yonne published in 1132 which quotes the word "materiolae" as derived from the Latin "materiola" itself a diminutive of material, timber. A definition that could find its roots in the fact that originally, the municipality was covered with forests and that they were exploited and then cleared.
• In his history of the city and throughout the diocese of Paris, Father Leboeuf gives another meaning, calling into Latin "Merroloe" which means "small pond" because, in the neighboring places, there would be small ponds of the nature of those so-called ponds.
