Just one piece of the puzzle: I suspect that the second part of Marcovefa (or Marcoveifa) is the same as in Genova (or Genoveifa), which lead to the modern name of Geneviève:

The possible meaning of simply "woman" of this part (maybe related to the modern English word "wife"?) can be found in several places on the Internet.
