Marcia, as a girl's name, is of Latin origin, which signifies "dedicated to Mars” or “warlike.” It is a feminine form of Marcus, which stems from the Roman mythological figure Mars, the god of war, known to the Greeks as Ares. Marcia also has ties to the Aramaic meaning “the mistress” or “the lady,” as a version of the Greek title Martha. Used in Imperial Rome and revived in the late 19th century, Marcia’s lyrical sound and brave-hearted associations are perfect for a determined and passionate little one.
