Meaning & History
Variant form of Marcoulf, which is the original French form of Marculf. This given name is barely in use in France today, so it mostly survives there as a patronymic surname (albeit barely, as the surname is extremely rare there as well).Last but not least, Marcouf is one of the names by which the 6th-century Frankish missionary and saint Marculf is known in France.
