A masculine given name, the Latin form of Mark, traditionally meaning 'warlike' or 'of Mars'. Common in European countries and derived from the Roman god of war.
From Latin 'Marcus', possibly derived from 'Mars', the Roman god of war. The name was popularized by Marcus Tullius Cicero and other prominent Romans, spreading through Christian influence via Saint Mark the Evangelist.
The name Marcus connects directly to Tuesday (Mardi in French, Martes in Spanish) - they're all named after Mars, the god of war. This makes Marcus one of the few personal names directly tied to a day of the week through shared divine etymology.
