Etymology of the name Mark

Attested by the dozen or so name-explaining websites on the Internet, the name Mark or Marcus is commonly regarded as a contraction of the Latin words martius or martialis, meaning of Mars or belonging to Mars, but although this is certainly the case for the unbiblical name Martin, it’s not for the personal name Marcus.

The word marcus is part of a threesome of words, explained by Isidore of Seville in his Etymologies (also known as Origins): “The marcus is a rather large hammer, called marcus because it is larger and stronger for striking. The martellus is medium-sized. The marculus is a very small hammer” (Isid. Orig. XIX, vii. Metalworkers’ tools, 2). Isidore distinguishes the marculus and its kin from another impact tool called malleus: “is so named because it strikes and stretches out anything when it is hot and soft (mollis)” (ibid.).

Lewis and Short (A Latin Dictionary) state that these words were imported from Sanskrit (from the verb mar, mrid, meaning to break, crush) and although Isidore wrote his Etymologies in the first quarter of the seventh century AD, he illustrated these three words with a quote from the Satires of Lucilius, who wrote in the second century BC: “And just as when in the smithy, the marculus beats the hot iron with the great blows of many workmen”. (Satires 1165). Valerius Martialis, who wrote in the first century AD, uses this same word (Mart. 12, 57, 6).

Isidore of Seville also notes that “the Greeks say that Pythagoras discovered the elements of this art [of music] from the sound of hammers” (Isid. Orig. III, xv. The inventors of music, 1), and that “a hard (durus) voice is one that emits sounds violently, like thunder, or like the sound of the anvil, when the hammer strikes on the hard iron”. (Isid. Orig. III, xix. The first division of music, which is called harmonic, 12), and that “iron that has been in the fire is ruined unless it is hardened by hammering” (Isid. Orig.XVI.xxi.Iron.3).
Mark meaning

Isidore’s brief definitions of the marcus, martellus and marculus may not be very accurate. If the diminutive marculus denoted a hand-held hammer with which workers beat hot iron with great blows, a medium sized martellus must have denoted something like a Sledge Hammer and a marcus must have been something truly horrendous, like a War-Hammer or a Battering Ram. Note that stages of comparison in English go the other way around in Latin. To us the marcus is a “very big” hammer, but in Latin the marculus is a very small marcus. In fact, the Romans had a separate word for hand-held hammer: porticulus, although that device seems to have been more of a signaling device, like the hammer still used today in courtrooms and auction houses.

The name Mark or Marcus was one of the most popular names of the old world, especially after emperor Marcus Aurelius instituted the Marcianus, which means “of Marcus” and which denoted a priest who performed the sacred rites instituted in honor of the emperor Marcus Aurelius. The Biblical Mark, however, was almost certainly a Jew, and his name was undoubtedly associated with that of Judas Maccabeus (from the Hebrew noun מקבת, maqqebet, meaning hammer), the famous second century leader of the Maccabean revolt against the Persians. This revolt allowed for the formation of the Jewish kingdom of the Hasmonean dynasty, and this kingdom ended when the Romans defeated it in 63 BC. Much of the tone of the gospel is set by the people’s frustration about losing their autonomy, and the war-hammer became somewhat of a symbol of the war against Roman totalitarianism (see our article on the name Pilate).

Even Mark’s gospel is a bit of a hammer. The Oxford Companion To The Bible states, “one of the features of Mark’s arrangement is the frequent sandwiching together of incidents,” and in their introduction to the gospel of Mark, the authors of the NOBSE Study Bible submit, “The distinctive word of this book is euthus, translated “immediately,” and it appears more often in this compact gospel than in the rest of the New testament”. The word(s) that NOBSE refers to is, or are related to, the adjective ευθυς (euthus), meaning straight or level; which is exactly what the hammer in a smithery is used for.
