Marek

A Slavic masculine name long linked to the Roman god Mars, Marek is certain to draw plenty of attention. A variant of Marcus or Mark, Marek inherits a myriad of meanings, not least of all "dedicated to Mars” and “male,” from the Latin mas. As the Roman god of war, Mars was second in importance only to the supreme god, Jupiter. He was considered slightly more level-headed than his Greek counterpart, Ares, who was impulsive, to say the least! Perhaps, like Mars, your Marek will become a defender of the people and things they care for most.
