רב מרי בר רחל Rav Mari bar Rachel
Amora of Babylonia · 4th generation (c. 320–350 CE) — named 11 times across 5 tractates of the Bavli.
Rav Mari bar Rachel, of the fourth Babylonian generation, is named for his mother — a matronymic almost unique among the sages of the Talmud, and the reference tradition identifies her as a daughter of Shmuel of Nehardea. The Bavli records that Rava held him fit for appointment and set him over an office in Babylonia, on the reasoning that a man whose mother is of Israel is of your brethren.
He is named some eleven times across five tractates, heaviest in Shabbat and Bechorot.
Named for his mother, Shmuel's daughter.
