Answer:

False

Explanation:

Answer: False

=========================================================

Explanation:

The Merriam-Webster dictionary says in the etymology section that

"Marathon, Greece, site of a victory of Greeks over Persians in 490 b.c., the news of which was carried to Athens by a long-distance runner".

In other words, Marathon was named after a place to refer to the messenger who ran a very long distance.

When I used a translator, it said that the Greek word for month is μήνα which is pronounced "mina" in English.
