The meaning of your name

Post Reply New Topic

For a year or two now I have been intrigued with the meaning and etymology of everyone's name.

All names have a meaning, but the etymology side also intrigues me because I'm fascinated by how all names originate in a plethora of different languages and have worked their way through to us.

My name is Mark, considered to mean warrior, because Mars was the Roman god of war. The name is considered to be Latin, from Marcus, which in turn came from Mars.

Mars, in turn, may have come from a different language into Latin. I've seen that it may come from a root mar- which is found in Sanskrit meaning shine or gleam. Other explanations are that it's from Greek or Armenian words meaning fight, or from Etruscan from their god Maris.

Do you know about the meaning and linguistic origin of your name?
