Johnmark is a modern compound name that emerged in the United States in the mid-1970s, first recorded in 1975. It combines two classic biblical names, John and Mark, to create a distinctive double-barreled choice. The name has seen a steady rise in usage since 2018, and as of 2025 it reached its peak rank of 4,857, with approximately 1 in 85,404 baby boys receiving the name that year. Despite its recent growth, Johnmark remains very uncommon, and it has not been recorded as a top name in any state. Parents who choose Johnmark often appreciate its blend of traditional roots with a modern, compound style.

Johnmark is a modern compound name formed by joining John and Mark, both of which have biblical and saintly associations. John derives from the Hebrew Yochanan, while Mark comes from the Latin Marcus. The combination likely arose in the late 20th century as parents sought distinctive double-barreled names. It has been in use in the United States since at least 1975, though it remains uncommon.
