All over the world, Marquis (Marquis
, Маркиз
, ماركيز
) is a common principally boy's, but very seldom feminine given name. The first name Marquis is characteristic of the United States, where it is quite a rare boy's name, Trinidad and Tobago, and Haiti, where it is a rare masculine name. Not in comparison with a country's population, it is the most numerous in the United States, Nigeria, and Canada. Likewise, Marquis is the last name as well as the forename.
Marquis is also a prevalent name for the fictitious and mythical characters: Marquis de Montauran , the Honoré de Balzac character, Les Chouans; Marquis St. Evrémonde , the Fictional character in Charles Dickens' novel A Tale of Two Cities; Marquis de Ronquerolles , the Honoré de Balzac character, La Comédie humaine; Major Marquis Warren , the character in the movie The Hateful 8, The Hateful Eight and Marquis de Carabas , the character of Puss in Boots, and in many other works.
