Damarcus, pronounced duh-MAR-kus (/dəˈmɑr.kəs/), is a modern masculine name rooted in the Latin praenomen Marcus, itself derived from Mars, the Roman god of war.

First charting in Social Security records during the early 1970s, Damarcus saw its peak popularity in the mid-1990s, when roughly 125 newborns received the name and it ranked near 676th nationally. In recent years it has stabilized around the 900th position, with approximately 20 to 35 occurrences annually, reflecting a steady but distinctive choice for parents seeking a name that balances classical heritage and modern flair.
