Marshon is an uncommon given name of American origin, derived from the combination of two elements: 'Mar' from the Latin name Marcus, meaning 'dedicated to Mars,' the Roman god of war; and '-son,' a suffix popular in many English-speaking countries that denotes 'son of.' Thus, Marshon can be interpreted as 'son of Mars' or 'dedicated to Mars son.'
