Markell

Markell is a masculine name emboldened with surprising ferocity. A Russian variant of the Roman Marcellus, Markell's meanings of "dedicated to Mars" and "male" celebrate the Roman god of war, Mars. More than a militant deity thirsty for battle, Mars was considered a comforting guardian, eager to secure peace for Rome and those who dwelled in it. Markell embraces the many facets of this great god's character, viewing strength as a means of securing harmony and defending others.
