Meaning:Dedicated to Mars; War; Male
Once used to signify a promising young warrior, Marc is a masculine name born from the Roman god Mars. Much like Marcus, Marc shares a two-fold meaning, the first being "dedicated to Mars" and the second more poetically interpreted meaning being "war." Others consider Marc a play on the Latin mas, a potential root of Mars, meaning "male," keeping the name in close orbit to the ancient god of war.
