Meaning:Nobleman; Borderland, march
Markiss is a masculine name that bears striking similarity to the English and French noble title Marquis. The Marquises of times past were “noblemen” who ranked above earls but below dukes. You might have even seen them depicted in series like Bridgerton and Downton Abbey. Interestingly, the word “marquis” derives from the French marche, meaning “borderland” or “march.” When baby Markiss makes their grand entrance into the world, your home might just become their “estate!”
