Name Meaning
Some characteristic forenames: French Emile, Normand, Marcel, Fernand, Lucien, Rosaire, Andre, Armand, Camille, Cecile, Jacques, Francois.
French: from the title marquis ‘marquess’, applied as an ironic nickname to someone who behaved like a marquis or as a metonymic occupational name for a servant in the household of a marquis. The title, derived from an ancient Germanic word meaning ‘boundary’ (compare March ), originally referred to the governor of a border territory. Marquises did not form part of the original French feudal structure of nobility; the title was first adopted by the Counts of Toulouse because of their possessions in the border region beyond the Rhône. Compare Markee and Markey .
English: nickname from Middle English markis ‘marquis, marquess, nobleman’ (Old French marchis); see also 1 above. The word is also found as a female personal name which may also be origin of the surname.
