Markeith

Meaning of Markeith

Markeith is a masculine given name of American origin, formed by blending Mark—derived from the Latin Marcus, meaning “warlike”—and Keith, a Scottish name traditionally associated with “wood” or “forest.” Pronounced mar-KEETH (/mər-ˈkiːθ/), it first emerged in the mid-20th century amid Anglo-American naming trends and found particular resonance within African-American communities. Usage has remained modest yet steady: in 2024 the name ranked 918th in U.S. newborn registrations with six recorded instances. Its fusion of classical and regional elements gives Markeith a distinctive identity that feels both grounded in tradition and tuned to contemporary tastes.
