Name Meaning

English: habitational name from Masbrough (Yorkshire), or, less probably, from Marksbury (Somerset). The Yorkshire placename probably derives from Old English mearc ‘mark, boundary’ (genitive mearces) + burg ‘fortress’. The Somerset placename derives from an Old English personal name Mǣruc or Mǣric (genitive Mǣr(u)ces or Mǣr(i)ces) + Old English burg.
