Marmaduke Origin and Meaning

The name Marmaduke is a boy's name of Irish origin meaning "devotee of Maedoc".

One of the ultimate teasable names, an Irish saint's name now associated with the oversized comic-strip dog. Scottish adventurer Bear (born Edward) Grylls took up the challenge when he used it for his son.
