History and Origin
Marius is a male given name, a Roman family name, and a modern surname.
The name Marius was used by members of the Roman gens Maria. It is thought to be derived from either the Roman war god Mars or from the Latin root mas or maris meaning "male". It may also derive from the Latin word mare meaning "sea", the plural of which is maria.
In Christian times, it was syncretized as a masculine form of the unrelated feminine given name Maria, from the Hebrew Miriam, Aramaic variant Mariam, and used alongside it.
Today, the name Marius is a common given name in Lithuania, Norway, and Romania. The name is also used in Denmark, France, Germany, the Netherlands, and South Africa.
The Greek name Marios (Μάριος), the Italian name Mario, the Polish name Mariusz, and the Portuguese name Mário are all derived from Marius.
Latin name, used in English, German, French, and other European languages: from a Roman family name of uncertain derivation. It is probably from Mars, the name of the Roman god of war, or from the adjective mas (genitive maris) male, virile. A derivation from mare sea has been proposed by some writers, but seems unlikely (cf. Marina). This name and in particular its southern European form Mario owe their popularity to having been pressed into service as masculine equivalents of Mary in countries where the cult of the Virgin Mary is strong.
