Mark has the rare appeal of a strong, sleek name with a minimalist modern feel and ancient roots. The name Mark is taken from the Roman god of war Mars, also the namesake of the planet.
 After centuries of lagging behind other apostle names Peter and Paul, Mark suddenly caught on in the early 1950s, reaching Number 6 by 1960. It was in the Top 10 from 1955 to 1970 and has been among the Top 1000 boys' names for the century and a half that the US has been keeping name records.
 Mark Twain was, of course, the pen name taken by Samuel Clemens. Prominent current bearers include actor Mark Ruffalo, Mark Wahlberg (the onetime Marky Mark), and Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg. Businessman Mark Cuban, owner of the Dallas Mavericks, is one of the main Sharks on Shark Tank.
 Marc is another, equally acceptable but less popular spelling. There are seven baby boys named Mark for every one spelled Marc.
