A Dictionary of Muslim names by Salahuddin Ahmed lists Marjaan as an Arabic name meaning "small pearls, corals."

The Complete Book of Muslim & Parsi Names by Maneka Gandhi and Ozair Husain lists Marjân as an Arabic name meaning "small pearl, coral" and Marjâni as an Arabic name meaning "coraline; coral red".

I think it's likely that Marjane is a Farsi (Persian) version of Marjân or Marjâni.

The Gandhi & Husain book lists Shûshah as an Arabic name meaning "speck, particle, part."

Both books list Taj or Tâj as an Arabic male name meaning "crown".
