Meaning & History
This given name is either a diminutive of Marcus (as it contains the Latin masculine diminutive suffix -ulus) or it is an independent name on its own, in which case it is derived from Latin marculus meaning "small hammer".This name was borne by the 4th-century Donatist bishop and martyr Marculus of Bagai (located in what was then Numidia, but is now Algeria). He is regarded as a saint by some, and his feast day is on the 25th or 29th of November.
