Meaning and history
Marcin is the Polish form of Martin. Martin derives from the Roman name Martinus, meaning “of Mars” or “belonging to Mars,” the Roman god of war. Saint Martin of Tours, a fourth-century soldier who became a bishop and was famed for sharing his cloak with a beggar, gave the name lasting Christian significance. Notable bearers include Polish basketball player Marcin Gortat and Polish composer and musician Marcin Patrzałek. The Polish pronunciation differs from English Martin.
