476.0. "Sparks of Interest for Babynames" by CAPO::LUCAS_SU () Fri Jan 05 1990 16:21

    My son is 6months old now.  When I named him I was not into finding out
    the meaning of names.  But reading these notes has prompted my
    interest.  His name is Markis Branden.  What is the meaning of these
    names??? Does anyone know?

    Markis looks like it would be a variation of Marcus.

    Sorry to get off the track so quickly on this but I couldn't resist.
    
    In the title you had the word "Sparks" which I'm sure my wife would 
    not like for our July '90 baby,  but I do think it would make a pretty
    interesting name for a son.  I can just see it "Sparks Baker".  Perfect
    for the future in Baseball...;^)
    
    Cheers

I couldn't find the name Markis, but I did find Markos and Markus, which
was listed as variations of Mark.  BTW, Mark is Latin and means "warlike".

As for Branden, it was listed as a varient spelling of Brandon, which is
Old English and means "from the beacon hill."
