History and Origin
Mark is a common male given name and is derived from old Latin "Mart-kos", which means "consecrated to the god Mars", and also may mean "God of war" or "to be warlike". Marcus was one of the three most common given names in Ancient Rome. See Roman given names.
English: from the Latin name Marcus, borne by the evangelist, author of the second gospel in the New Testament, and by several other early and medieval saints. St Mark became the patron saint of Venice, and the Italian name Marco has long been especially popular in that city. This was one of the extremely limited number of Roman given names in use in the classical period. There were only about a dozen of these in general use, with perhaps another dozen confined to particular families. In Arthurian legend, King Mark is the aged ruler of Cornwall to whom Isolde is brought as a bride by Tristan. Mark was not notably borne by royalty and was not a particularly common name in the Middle Ages outside a few centres such as Venice.
