History & Origin

Lamarius joins the productive La- prefix, common in Black American naming, to a base recalling the Latin Marius, a Roman gens name of uncertain meaning. The result is a modern coinage that wears a classical echo lightly.

It was never common, given to only about fifteen boys a year at its peak around 2009. A boy named Lamarius then is still in his teens today, one of many La- names that gave familiar sounds a distinctive turn.

Did you know? The -marius in Lamarius echoes the ancient Roman Marius, a clan name once borne by the general Gaius Marius, borrowed here mainly for its stately sound.
