Three Syllable Names for Girls

Likely used as a rare elaboration of Marcelle or Marcella — or as a variant of the French Marcelette —Marcetta may appeal to those who enjoy both Marcy and Etta as nicknames. 
While it is probably derived from Marcellus and Marcus, names that relate to the Roman God of War, another source could be the surname Marcet. Again, this might be a Catalan form of Marcus, however, it may also come from the Latin marceo meaning "wilt" or "languid", or from the Old English merchet, a term used in the Middles Ages to refer to a fine paid by a woman's father to a local lord, if her marriage meant she moved away and was considered a lost laborer. In this case, it ultimately comes from merchedd, an Old Welsh word for "daughter". 
 
Marcietta is an even rarer variation of the name.
