Meaning & origin
Marce is a rare unisex name that first appeared in U.S. records in 1950. It has never entered the top 1000, and its popularity peaked in 1963 with a modest number of births. Since then, usage has remained steady but very low. The name is often considered a diminutive of Marcellus, Marcella, or Marcy. The 'little warrior' meaning of its Latin root Marcellus may appeal to parents seeking a subtly strong name. Marce has not shown strong regional patterns and remains a quiet, individual choice.
Marce is a modern diminutive or variant of names like Marcellus (Latin 'little warrior'), Marcella, or Marcy. It emerged in the mid-20th century as a given name in the United States, possibly as a feminine form or unchoice. Its usage has remained stable but rare.
