Marquies is an uncommon yet distinctive given name of Latin origin, derived from the Roman family name Marcus. It is composed of two elements: 'mar' meaning 'warlike', and 'quis' meaning 'fifth'. Thus, Marquies can be interpreted as 'fifth in a series'. The name has been infrequently used throughout history, making it a unique choice for those seeking an uncommon yet meaningful name.
The name Marquies experienced fluctuations in popularity over the decades, with peaks in the late 1980s and mid-1990s. However, it seems to have been less favored in recent years, as shown by the consistent low number of births from 2006 onwards.
