Phil -- are you implying that you roll the "r"? Seems like that's the way a fellow told me to pronounce it when the subject came up just last week.

Well we did not go all the way to Italy to figure this out. At first I thought to sit on the sidelines and watch this because no matter how you pronounce it I think it is great that everyone cares so much, THANK YOU.

I have heard many, it is not: an elected official (mayor), a planet (mars) or a plural horse (...)

It does have two syllables, MAR ESS. Depending on your accent (Italian, NYC-mine)
the emphasis changes slightly, on either syllable it may change and your ability to roll an "r" gets involved.

Mares was the last name of the founder of the company.

Thanks to all

Phil

Grazie Signore Mintz,

I shall speak the name with the confidence of a native Italiano forever more.

Is "Mar" pronounced like Martin....or like Mare?

Ciao la pronuncia è proprio MARES come si legge. E' un nome proprio.

Ciao dall'Italia.
PS: la Mares è di Genova
