Damarcus Origin and Meaning

The name Damarcus is a boy's name.

Damarcus is a masculine name that appears to be a modern compound formation. It likely combines the prefix 'Da-' (a popular contemporary prefix in many names) with 'Marcus,' a name of Latin origin meaning 'dedicated to Mars' (the Roman god of war). The name emerged primarily in the United States during the latter part of the 20th century. This formation follows a pattern seen in other modern names where prefixes are added to traditional names to create distinctive variations. Damarcus represents an evolution in naming practices where familiar elements are combined in novel ways. Usage data shows the name reached its peak popularity in the 1990s but continues to be chosen by parents seeking a strong-sounding name with both modern appeal and connections to the classical Marcus. The name's rhythm and distinctive sound pattern contribute to its continued usage.
