Marcos
Boy name · 9 babies recorded · 1974–2025
Marcos: 9 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to boys, peaking at 3 births in 1980.
A Spanish and Portuguese form of the Latin Marcus, Marcos ultimately derives from Mars, the Roman god of war, giving it a strong, determined feel. Famous bearers include Marcos Pontes, the first Brazilian astronaut to travel to space, and the celebrated Brazilian footballer simply known as Marcos, who goalkeeped for Palmeiras. The name also appears in place names across the Spanish-speaking world, such as San Marcos in several countries and the Argentine city of Marcos Paz. While familiar across many cultures, its crisp, two-syllable sound makes it a fresh alternative to the more common Marcus.
