Best Answer

No. Mark is a variant of the Roman name "Marcus." Most likely the name was derived from Mars, the God of War. The name can be thought to mean, "from Mars" or "warlike" or something like that. Either way, the name was in existence well before Christianity. Consequently, I would say that it is not a Christian name. In my mind, in order for a name to be a "Christian name," it must have come into existence after the religion of Christianity was founded. I suppose some people might not agree with me, but that's my stance on the matter.

Where does the surname Mark originate from?

Mark is an English surname derived from the Latin personal name, Marcus. The name was used by a number of early Christian Saints and thus was used throughout Christian Europe in this and many other forms. The Latin name, Marcus, is an old Roman name of uncertain origin, possibly coming from outside the Italic language group. It may have a connection with the Roman god of war, Mars.
