Mark

Mark is a biblical name of Latin origin. The name is seen throughout the Holy Bible, as it is the name of one of the disciples of Jesus. His is the second of the four canonical gospels, which is known as the Gospel of Mark, which tells the story of Jesus' tomb being discovered to be empty. The name Mark is also a shortened version of the name Marcus, so the meaning of Mark is 'a great warrior'. It relates to the Roman god Mars, who was the God of War and was the most popular of the military gods that the Roman army prayed to. It first became popular in the 19th century, when Mark started to be used on its own instead of Marcus.
