Meaning & History
Medieval German and archaic Alsatian and East Frisian short form of MARCUS, recorded numerous times in the Rhineland region of what is now Germany in the early 16th century, as well as in East Frisia in the same time period.
As a medieval Jewish name, it was occasionally used to translate MORDECHAI, probably via the phonetic similarity of the form Mortge.
