There is a separate root مرج (as in هرج ومرج) that is native, though it means something different.
Salut,
Do you mean that the word does not exist in the Arabic language (although it appears in some dictionaries)?
I saw in Lane's lexicon this :
مَرْجَانٌ, a coll. gen. n.; n. un. with ة {مَرْجَانَةٌ}; (L
Small pearls: (AHeyth, T, Ṣ, Ḳ or the like thereof: or large pearls: (El-Wáḥidee or coral, بُسَّذٌ, which is a red gem: or red beads; which is the meaning assigned to the word by Ibn-Mesʼood, and is agreeable with the common acceptation thereof; or, accord. to Et-Tarasoosee (or, as in the TA, Et-Turtooshee, and so correctly accord. to MF) certain red roots that grow up in the sea, like the fingers of the hand: [vulgarly pronounced مُرْجَان:] the ن is said to be an augmentative letter, because there is no Arabic word of the measure فَعْلَالٌ, except such as are reduplicative, like خَلْخَالٌ: but Az says, I know not whether it be a triliteral-radical word or a quadriliteral: (Mṣb IḲṭṭ asserts it to be of the measure فَعْلَالٌ. (TA.)

Oui mais en général il se base sur des œuvres arabes, non ?
On trouve ce mot aussi dans certains dictionnaires* arabes mais le sens n'est pas "petite perle", est-ce un mot arabe quand il a le sens de "corail" par exemple ?
* Exemples de dictionnaires arabes : arabdict
Le mot مرجان a connu un glissement sémantique. En arabe, il est passé de petites perles à corail. Le cheminement de ce mot qui vient du sanskrit est très intéressant. Vous pouvez en avoir un aperçu dans ce blog.
