Marks and Marx are Germanized forms of the name Mordechai, but there are other theories about the name origin. The name is also found in non-Jewish families, where it is a Germanized form of the name Marcus (Mark). Jews with the given name Mordechai were frequently called Markus in non-Jewish circles (similar substitutions are common to this day), so the names Marks and Marx are just patrinymic forms meaning "son of Mark" (who might have really been named Mordechai) just like Jones means "son of John."

Where is a website that gives origin of names?
The easiest way I have found to find name origins is this: go to google.com and type in "name origin Bob" or whatever name you want, "name origin Johnson," etc. but without the quotation marks. For a last name, you can also type in "surname origin Johnson" or whatever the name is, without the quotation marks. Surname means last name. Another thing you can do is go to google.com and type in "Irish surnames origins" or whatever nationality the surname is from, without the quotation marks, and find them that way.
