History & Origin

Marque is a fashion-forward spelling in the Marcus/Marquis group. Marcus reaches back to Mars, the Roman war god, while Marquis names a French nobleman; together they lend Marque both an ancient and an elegant air, even though it is simply said 'Mark'.

It was a modest choice that peaked in the late nineteen-eighties before easing off. It reads as a distinctly later-twentieth-century styling and remains uncommon.

Did you know? Marque rides the same wave of aspirational -que and Marqu- names — Marquis, Marquez, Marque — that gave a familiar sound a dashing, French-styled look.
