Marquest is a distinctive and unique given name of Latin origin, meaning 'to mark out' or 'to encircle'. It's composed of two elements: 'marcus', which means 'dedicated to Mars, the Roman god of war', and 'est', meaning 'is'. The name has been predominantly used in English-speaking countries. However, its rarity makes it stand out, perhaps appealing to those seeking an uncommon yet meaningful name.
"The name Marquest experienced its peak popularity between the years of 1993 and 1994 with 12 and 9 births respectively during these periods. However, it seems there was a decline in popularity after that, with fewer than 9 births recorded annually until 2006."
