Origin: Latin

Meaning: dedicated to Mars

Marko is a variation of the Latin name Mark and is just one of many names derived from Mars. If you're not too excited about a name that means "dedicated to Mars," the Roman god of war, then use it to encourage baby to take an interest in space. As a god, Mars was beloved by the Ancient Romans as the father of Romulus and Remus. They even named the month of March after him and used the first day of the month to honor him. If this name is winning the battle against other baby names, then you may have to get used to resisting the urge to say Polo after you call Marko down for dinner.
