It could be one of these:
  • Not positioning the shower curtain well
  • Sloshing around in the tub spilling water onto the floor.
  • A leak

If they are always there probly your water lines have have small pinholes.
If the marks are wet, yes. If they are dry stains, they could be from some past event. I had presumed the marks were dry, but I should not have presumed.

The roof might be leaking around a vent pipe and it is following the pipe down through the wall to the ceiling below.
