Marque Origin and Meaning

The name Marque is a boy's name.

Marque appears to be a stylized spelling variant of Mark or possibly derived from the French word "marqué" (meaning "marked" or "distinguished"). The name Mark itself comes from Latin "Marcus," possibly meaning "dedicated to Mars" (the Roman god of war) or "hammer." This particular spelling adaptation likely emerged in the latter part of the 20th century, when alternative spellings of traditional names became more common. The addition of the "-que" ending creates a distinctive visual presentation while maintaining the original pronunciation. This pattern follows a broader trend of name customization through spelling variations. While not among the most common masculine names, Marque represents creative adaptation of traditional naming conventions while maintaining connections to historical roots.
