Meaning & origin
Marque is a rare and modern name that entered U.S. birth records in 1951. Its peak popularity occurred in 1988, but it has never broken into the top 1000, with usage declining since 1987. The name's etymology is uncertain, but it likely represents a creative spelling or derivation from Mark, influenced by the French word 'marque.' Marque has been used almost exclusively for boys and remains a distinctive, uncommon choice with no strong regional associations in the United States.
The name Marque first appeared in U.S. birth records in 1951, most likely as a modern invented name, possibly derived from the French word 'marque' meaning 'mark' or 'brand,' or as a spelling variant of Mark. It has never entered widespread use but saw modest popularity in the late 1980s.
