Marcus (name)
Marcus (abbreviated M.) is a masculine given name of Ancient Roman pre-Christian origin derived either from Etruscan ''Marce'' of unknown meaning (possibly from the Etruscan ''"mar"'' which means "to harvest"), or referring to the god Mars. Because Mars was identified as the Roman god of War, the name 'Marcus' can by extension be taken to refer to Ares in the Greek pantheon.
The name is popular in Europe, particularly in Sweden, Norway,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=10 mest brukte navn 1880 - 2007 (10 most used boys names 1880-2007) )〕 Italy and Germany, and increasingly, in the Netherlands. It is also popular in English language countries, although less common than the shortened variation 'Mark', associated with the Gospel writer Mark the Evangelist (''Μάρκος''). There are other variants. Marcus ranks in the top 100 most popular boy names in Australia, Canada, England, Scotland, Sweden, and Wales since the 1990s, as well as, the top 200 most popular boy names in the US since the 1960s.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Marcus — Name Meaning and Origin )〕
Marcus developed as a patronymic or toponymic surname in Italy, southern France, and Spain around 1000 A.D., attributable to religious monasteries and sanctuaries named Sanctus Marcus (or its many variants). The surname was used as an identifier for area of origin. The first historical record of the surname was in the year 1390 in Biberach an der Riß, Germany.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Surname: Marcus )〕
