It's OK, War Fish. The sea in French is "la mer." You can fully hate on Lamar.

And la mar is the sea in Spanish!

It's "el mar" in Spanish.

The feminine la mar remains perfectly valid and is especially frequent or even preferred in certain contexts:

• Among people who work with the sea (marineros, pescadores, etc.): hacerse a la mar ('to set sail'), vivir de la mar, la mar est brava.
• In descriptions of the sea's state: la mar gruesa (rough sea), la mar rizada (choppy sea), la mar calma, alta mar / altamar (high seas).
• In fixed expressions and idioms: la mar de ('a lot of' / 'very' e.g., la mar de gente = 'tons of people', la mar de simptico = 'super nice'), pelillos a la mar ('let bygones be bygones'), cagarse en la mar (a colorful way to express frustration).
• In poetry, literature, or more emotional/literary registers, where it often carries a more affectionate, personified, or traditional feel (sometimes evoking the sea as a "she," like in Hemingway's The Old Man and the Sea where the fisherman thinks of the sea as la mar because he loves her).

In plural, the masculine almost always dominates today (los mares), though the feminine was historically possible.

So both el mar and la mar are correct it depends on context, region, register, and tradition rather than one being "wrong." The RAE explicitly confirms this in the Diccionario panhispnico de dudas and other sources.
