Aries names

Marcas is a masculine name that represents a distinctive variation of Marcus or Mark, names with ancient Roman origins meaning 'dedicated to Mars' (the Roman god of war). This spelling variant has particular connections to Celtic traditions, especially in Ireland and Scotland, where it appears as an anglicized form of the Gaelic name. Marcas blends classical heritage with Celtic influence, offering a fresh alternative to the more common Marcus. The name carries connotations of strength and courage from its martial origins while its Celtic associations add a layer of cultural richness. Though relatively uncommon in mainstream usage, Marcas provides a recognizable yet distinctive option for parents seeking a name with historical depth and cross-cultural appeal.

A sweeter take on Marcella.

Simple and universal, Marco is a Latin classic that would make a much livelier namesake for an Uncle Mark. It was used for her son by actress Jill Hennessy and goes well with surnames of any nationality.

Marcy is about as hip as bobby sox and saddle shoes – which is to say, it's probably due a revival in the not-too-distant future! It was a typical Peanuts character name, which peaked in the seventies, but is starting to attract attention again across the pond, where soundalikes like Macy, Marnie, Maisy, Darcy and Lacey are already popular.

A wearable update to the New Testament classic.

Marcia is the most common version of this group of names in the U. S., now found more often among moms and grandmas than babies. Marsha was a Top 100 name in the 1950s, when Marcy was its common go-by name.

Adds some spunk and Latin rhythm to mundane Martin.

Marti is a versatile name used for both girls and boys, though more commonly feminine in recent decades. As a feminine name, it often serves as a nickname for Martha (Aramaic for 'lady' or 'mistress') or Martina (feminine form of Martin, derived from Mars, the Roman god of war). As a masculine name, it's frequently a diminutive of Martin. In Spanish-speaking cultures, Martí (with an accent) is a Catalan surname and given name. The short, punchy quality of Marti gives it a casual, friendly appeal while retaining connections to its more formal origins. The name saw modest popularity in the United States during the 1950s-1970s, particularly for girls. Marti projects an unpretentious, approachable quality with vintage charm and cross-cultural appeal.

German philosopher and revolutionary socialist Karl Marx will be most people's immediate association with this uncommon name. The author of The Communist Manifesto and Das Kapital is widely considered to be the father of international communism.

Mawrth is a masculine name with Welsh origins, representing the Welsh word for the planet Mars and also for Tuesday (the day of Mars). The name derives from the Roman god of war, Mars, adapted through Celtic language evolution. Extremely rare as a given name, Mawrth has significance in astronomy and Welsh cultural contexts. Interestingly, 'Mawrth Vallis' is a valley on Mars that has been studied for potential signs of past water. The name offers a distinctive option for parents with Welsh heritage or interests in Celtic languages, astronomy, or mythology, though its unusual pronunciation (similar to 'month' but with an 'r') might present challenges outside Wales.

Serafine is a variation of the stylish Seraphina. It was given to no baby girls In the US last year, though Serafina and Seraphine were both well-represented.

Much-used midcentury diminutive, now fallen far from favor even as a middle name.
