Marquess

Make way for the new ruler of the roost! Marquess is a masculine name of French origin that’s inspired by Marquis. This lofty moniker began as a title for a “lord of the march” or “ruler of the border” from the Old French marche. Traditionally given to an officer who guarded the borders of a land, Marquis was soon adopted by nobility to show off their heritage and status. Marquess carries the same grandeur with a down-to-earth vibe for the little one here to make the world their home.
