The 8th Commandant of the Marine Corps, Colonel Charles McCawley, adopted the motto "Semper Fidelis" in 1883. The phrase itself has been around much longer than the Marine Corps and has been used commonly throughout history. Therefore, it can be aruged that the person who came up with the motto was the same person, or group of people, who developed the Latin language.
