Marshall
Meaning of Marshall
Marshall strides in like the beat of a dhol on festival day—steady, bright, impossible to ignore. The name began as an Old French job title for the one who cared for horses, and, much like a groom who turns colts into champions, Marshall often grows into a gentle guide and natural leader. History backs him up: think of Justice Thurgood Marshall, who galloped straight into the heart of American civil rights, or the many field marshals who plotted brave victories. Parents in the U.S. have kept the name trotting along for more than a century, proving that classic style never runs out of steam. Pronounced MAHR-shuhl, it rolls off the tongue like a quick drumroll—tap, tap, triumph! He may one day marshal a cricket team, lead a tech startup, or simply organize the family’s Diwali lights with military precision; whatever the arena, he tends to make order from chaos. Warm, trustworthy, a touch playful—Marshall is the little general who reminds everyone that true strength begins with care.
