Mare Erythraeum is a very large dark dusky region of Mars that can be viewed by even a small telescope. The name comes from the Latin for the Arabian Sea

Erythraeum, as in Mare Erythraeum is a very large dark dusky region of Mars that can be viewed by even a small telescope. The name comes from the Latin for the Arabian Sea, because it was originally thought to be a large sea of liquid water.

Yes derived from the greek for RED. Red sea, in greek = Erythrea Thalassa.
It's used in many names, from a "sea" in Mars to bacteria... so basically it means red.
