Roman praenomen, or given name, which was probably derived from the name of the Roman god MARS. This would suggest a possible significance such as "warlike" or "defender".
Two famous Roman bearers of this name were Marcus Tullius Cicero (known simply as Cicero), a statesman and orator, and Marcus Aurelius, a notable emperor of the 2nd century. This was also the name of a pope of the 4th century. Marcus is the original form of the name Mark.

Marcus is a male given name of Latin origin. Its common English form is Mark. Marcus is probably derived from the Etruscan given name Marce, which may be related to the name of the god Mars. Apart from this, its meaning is unknown.
Mark is a common male given name.
The name originates from Latin: a Roman clan name (Marcius) and first name (Marcus) associated with the Roman god of war, Mars. It is usually said to mean "martial" or "great warrior". Other variations of the name are: Marc (Scottish Gaelic), Marco (Italian), Marcos (Spanish), Marko (South Slavic languages), Marek (Polish, Czech and Slovak languages), and Markus (Germanic languages). A similar form is Marcellus, or "little Mark", which gives names such as the French Marcel and the Italian Marcello.
