Somebody said that in Italian, "marcia" means rotten. Someone else "corrected" them, saying that the word is "marcio." In Italian, as in all Romance languages, adjectives have masculine and feminine forms. "Marcia" is the feminine form. The Italian equivalent of "Marcia" as a name is "Marzia" (pronounced "mar-tsya). "Marcia" is also a noun meaning "march" (as in a procession). (Different word, of course.) (The word for the month is "marzo.")

"War hawk" in a good sense = someone who stands up for what is right --- brave. I like the name Mark and the name Marcia.
