Well, the problem might be that Markie is not a "proper" name (don't take offense- many given names are not "proper"), but instead we can say that it is a derivitive of another name. In this case, it's a little easier than most, as all of the possible names that your name could come begin with the same source. If we wanted to say that your name came from Marcie, Marcia, even Marcella, all of those name originate with the male name Marcus- Roman praenomen, or given name, which was probably derived from the name of the Roman god MARS*. Two famous Roman bearers of this name were Marcus Tullius Cicero (known simply as Cicero), a statesman and orator, and Marcus Aurelius, a notable emperor of the 2nd century. This was also the name of a pope of the 4th century. Marcus is the original form of the name Mark (this taken from "Behind the Name.com"). Marcus derives from Mars, and THAT name is related to Latin mas , meaning "male" (genitive maris). In Roman mythology Mars was the god of war, often equated with the Greek god Ares. This is also the name of the fourth planet in the solar system.

So, I guess you can say that your name is a feminine version of "male"...

Says here her original name was Marjorie. Maybe that will help!

Okay, if we go with Marjorie as the name from which Markie is derived, that changes the possible meaning, away from Mars.

Marjorie is a variant of Margery, which is itself a medieval variant of Margaret. Further, Margaret is an English variant of the Latin name Margarita, which is borrowed from the Greek μαργαριτης ("margarites"), which means "pearl".

DEANNE

Gender: Feminine
Usage: English

Pronounced: dee-AN [key]
Variant of DEANNA


DEANNA

Gender: Feminine
Usage: English

Pronounced: dee-AN-ə, DEEN-ə [key]
Either a variant of DIANA or a feminine form of DEAN. This name was popularized by the Canadian actress and singer Deanna Durbin (1921-), whose birth name was Edna. Her stage name was a rearrangement of the letters of her real name.


DIANA

Gender: Feminine
Usage: English, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Catalan, German, Dutch, Romanian, Russian, Lithuanian, Roman Mythology
Other Scripts: Диана (Russian)

Pronounced: die-AN-ə (English), dee-AH-nah (German, Dutch) [key]
Probably derived from an old Indo-European root meaning "heavenly, divine", related to dyeus (see ZEUS). Diana was a Roman goddess of the moon, hunting, forests, and childbirth, often identified with the Greek goddess Artemis.

As a given name, Diana has been regularly used since the Renaissance. It became more common in the English-speaking world following Sir Walter Scott's novel 'Rob Roy' (1817), which featured a character named Diana Vernon. It also appeared in George Meredith's novel 'Diana of the Crossways' (1885). A notable bearer was Diana Spencer (1961-1997), the Princess of Wales.


DEAN

Gender: Masculine
Usage: English

Pronounced: DEEN [key]
From a surname which means either "valley" from Middle English dene or else "dean" from Middle English deen (ultimately from Latin decanus meaning "chief of ten"). The actor James Dean (1931-1955) was a famous bearer of the surname.


So your name either means "heavenly, divine" or "valley".
