What is the origin of Mark?

Mark's language of origin is Latin. It is used predominantly in the English, Dutch, Russian, and Scandinavian languages. The meaning of the name is 'war-like, dedicated to meaning of Mars; gleaming'. Biblical name derived from mars ; mar meaning 'to gleam'. Marcus (Latin) and Martkos (Latin) are old forms of Mark. The name was borne in the Bible by one of the four evangelists who wrote the second Gospel named after him. It was also borne by various other early and medieval saints. Among its limited appearance among royalty, the name was borne by the 6th-century King Mark of Cornwall; his villianous appearance in Arthurian legend as the uncle of Tristan and husband of Isolde led to the diminished popularity of the name among medieval English speakers. The name later enjoyed a revival in the 17th century among English Puritans. Mark is an English variant transcription of nicknames for Marcus (English, Scandinavian, French, and German).
