A American name gently fading from the charts.
Marquavious is a boy's baby name of American origin, a creative extended form of Marquis — from the Old French marchis, meaning 'lord of the borderlands' — with the Latinate suffix -avious adding grandeur and length. With over 700 births, Marquavious exemplifies the 1990s African American naming tradition of constructing stately, multi-syllabic names that feel both invented and aristocratic.
Marquavious was #3509 twenty years ago and has since drifted to #9521, but its charm endures.
