Mark means "that of a God" or "heavenly."

MARC (French form of MARK) - From MARS, the Roman God of War. Meanings: warrior, fighter, or master of war.

Mark Moses (born February 24, 1958) stars as Paul Young, the mysterious widower of Mary Alice on the popular soap-dramedy "Desperate Housewives".

This name also has a real sentimental connection to me. It's very timeless and it's a name I will always love. I have met heaps of people with this name and they have all been quite nice. :)

Mark McGrath is from SugarRay.

It was one of my favorite names for men, until I married one. Now it kind of has a negative aftertaste.

I like this name much better spelled Mark then Marc. This is a pretty good guy's name.

There's also Mark Cohen, who is one of the main characters in the rock opera "Rent".

Famous bearer: Former St. Louis Cardinals 1st Baseman Mark McGuire, who, in 1998, set the new MLB home run record at 70. (Barry Bonds later stole that record.)

Mark Harris and Mark Schultz are Christian music artists.

Bit of a dorky name me thinks.

There is an author named Mark Billingham.

Mark is a very overly used name in America and I'm sure it's well know in other countries as well. I've known about three people with this name personally and all of them are hard working and honest people. The trait to be silly and creative seems to follow with this name too. Though I have to say that the Polish form of Mark is my favorite. It's more classy. Overall, Mark is a good name with great personality but only if you can overcome the fact that it is overused. Though it's probably not as overused as Christopher or Jacob. =D That's a plus.

I have a lot of friends named Mark and they are all kind of self centered and always around girls. If you are thinking about naming your son Mark, I like the name but not the personalities.

Mark Owen is from Take That.

I am not a fan of this name. It sounds like leaving a Mark for something.

Mark is a wonderful name, for the fifty year old man next door. Really, no child wants to be named Mark.

Also a masculine name in Slovenia.

I was happy when I discovered my cousin is named this so now if I ever marry and have a son, I can say that this name is my cousin and not be lying. I don't like this name, mainly because, every Mark (including my cousin) except one are all really good people. Unfortunately, the latter gives me bad thoughts of the name since I've known him soooooo very long now. Otherwise, it's a good name.

Mark Sloane is a character on the ABC drama 'Grey's Anatomy.'

What a boring name, Mark, it could mean a "mark on the wall", there's a mark on the car, such a boring name.

This name sounds funny.

There is a guy called Mark Ronson who collaborates with singers and bands and does covers of famous songs.

One of the members of "Westlife" - the famous Irish boy band - is called Mark. He is handsome. But he is gay.

Let's not forget actor Mark Harmon who is one of the main characters on the tv-series NCIS - Leroy Jethro Gibbs.

Also used in Ireland.

Mark Baker is the seventh of the twelve Baker kids in the Cheaper by the Dozen movies.

Mark is such a stable and incredibly usable name. I think that it's very under appreciated.

Just thought you would like to know that the names Mark and Marcus have both Hebrew and Greek origins.

Marcus is written this way in Greek:
Μάρκος

Marcus is written this way in Hebrew:
מרקוס

Hitchcock's Bible Dictionary gives the meaning of Mark and Marcus as:
polite; shining

Saint Mark the Evangelist (Hebrew: מרקוס; Greek: Μάρκος; 1st century), also known as John Mark, is traditionally believed to be the author of the Gospel of Mark and a companion of Saint Peter.

I like Marcus but not Mark because it sounds like BIRTH MARK or a mole. Ew. It's really boring and nerdy to me.

This is my dad's name and it is a very lovely name. All the Mark's I have met have been hard working, extremely friendly, and very funny. This name is highly usable as a boy's name.

Mark is also a Danish word which means "field". The name is often used in Denmark. [noted -ed]

Mark O. Barton (April 2, 1955 - July 29, 1999) was an American spree killer who gained notoriety when he shot and killed 9 people, besides murdering his wife, son, and daughter.

In Arthurian legend, Mark is the king of Cornwall.

It's funny how many posters I'm seeing that scorn the name Mark for sounding like he's "marking things up" or "leaving marks all over the place." I've always thought that the sentiment "to leave your mark on something/someone" was very powerful, especially when conveyed in someone's name. I'd have to be one of those "refrigerator mothers" if I ever had a son and didn't feel like he'd left some kind of mark on me.

One of them is Mark Wahlberg... best actor ever! He plays Det Terry Hoitz in this year's film 'The Other Guys' (release 8/6/10), and Bob Lee Swagger on 'Shooter'...

Mark is such a strong, handsome name. In writing, it is neat and looks as good as it sounds. What a fine, underused classic name!

I can't believe no one has yet said Mark Zuckerburg, the creator of Facebook.

"Mark" is an incredibly classic, timeless, professional and handsome name. I find it an honoring bow to the old-world, yet a welcoming wave to contemporary life. A breath of fresh air from all the "Jayden"s.
I only support the traditional spellings... in other words: Mark, Marc. Taking it a further "kre8tiv" step to "Marck" instantly murders the elegant pleasure.

"Markie/Marky" is an irresistible nickname, may I add.

Mark Alexander Ballas is an American dancer and singer.

I have a brother named Mark, so I like it. I think it's a very classic and strong sounding name.

The name Mark, according to my Strongs concordance also means Autumn or Fall.

Aside from Mark Twain and NASCAR driver Mark Martin, this name reminds me of Mark Knopfler, the famous singer. Dire Straits is awesome!
