Marquita

The feminine name Marquita carries a long-held noble title within it. This moniker is the feminine form of Marquis, an American name inspired by marquis, a French phrase that itself stems from marche, a word meaning "march" or "borderland." Bestowed on those who rank below a duke and above an earl, members of the English peerage still use the title Marquis or Marquess. Naming baby Marquita could be a lovely way to remind them that their brilliance isn't measured in where they come from or their material wealth, but in their actions, words, and the love they show toward those around them.
