History & Origin

Dmarcus is a modern American name, a form of D'Marcus and DeMarcus in which the apostrophe is left out. It joins the creative De- prefix to the classic Marcus, from Latin, tied to Mars, the god of war. It is a deliberate coinage rather than a misspelling.

It appeared with the family of De- names popular late in the century, peaking around 1994 before fading; it reads today as a younger man's name and is closely tied to its era.

Did you know? Dmarcus is really D'Marcus or DeMarcus with the apostrophe dropped in the records — a genuine coined name, not a typo; it crested around 1994 at only a few dozen boys a year.
