Markie Origin and Meaning

The name Markie is a girl's name.

Markie is a feminine name that originated as a diminutive form of Mark or Marcia. With its playful '-ie' ending, it gives a friendly, approachable quality to the traditional name. While Mark derives from the Latin name 'Marcus,' meaning 'dedicated to Mars' (the Roman god of war), Markie has evolved to have its own distinct charm. Though not among the most common female names in the United States, Markie experienced modest popularity in the 1970s and 1980s. Some parents choose Markie for its tomboyish appeal or as a modern alternative to more traditional feminine names. It carries connotations of spunkiness and individuality.
