Marids actually aren't tied to water as far as mythology goes. They were linked to water sometime in the 80s or so, probably in some Dungeons & Dragons monster manual. It probably comes from latin 'mare', sea, which has nothing to do with the etymology of Marid...

If you read it from the Wikipedia article, check out the discussion page.

P.S. I only know this because I was already corrected once in these forums.
