Facts About
Marks
Marks is thought to be a patronymic surname, suggested by the suffixed ‘s’, and would have been given to the kin of a man named with the Roman Mark. However it is also possible that this surname was topographical. Topographical surnames were given to describe the area that the bearer lived in or a nearby landmark. In this case the origin would be the Old English ‘mearc’ which refers to a ‘marker’ of the border of a territory. A person with this surname could have lived next to such a mark. |
