Meaning: Silk fabric; Dedicated to Mars, God of war; Young warrior

Marceline is a baby girl name of French origin. While it can refer to marceline, a delicate silk fabric, this name can have some much edgier vibes to it. Associated with the Ancient Roman name Marcellus and a variant of the French names Marcellinus and Marcelina, Marceline means "dedicated to Mars." This can connect baby to Mars, the Roman god of war, and can also be interpreted to mean “young warrior.” From soldiers battling in Ancient Greece to the famous British comics Warrior, these figures can inspire baby to be brave and heroic every day. If you're a fan of the show Adventure Time, this name may remind you of the bass-playing, fun-loving character, Marceline the Vampire Queen. With this fearless name, baby Marceline can be your tiny trooper.
