Marcia

Marcia is a feminine name with intriguing ties to a particular Roman deity. As the feminine form of Marcius, Marcia finds its roots in the Latin title Marcus, which means “dedicated to Mars.” The god of war in Roman mythology was known as Mars. Second in importance only to Jupiter, Mars was viewed as a protector of the Roman state. Revived from its ancient roots in the late 19th century, Marcia’s lyrical sound and brave-hearted associations are perfect for a determined and passionate little one.
