Marshae Origin and Meaning
Marshae is a distinctive feminine name of American origin that emerged in the latter part of the 20th century. It appears to be a creative variation of Marcia or Marsha, which themselves derive from Mars, the Roman god of war, or from the name Marcus. The unique spelling with the '-ae' ending gives the name a modern feel while maintaining its phonetic similarity to more traditional names. Marshae represents the trend of creating distinctive spellings of familiar names that began in the 1970s and continued through the 1990s.
