Origin
Meaning and history of Jomarcus
The given name Jomarcus is a relatively modern amalgamation of the names Joseph and Marcus. It does not have a direct linguistic or cultural origin, but rather combines two names with distinct histories.
Joseph is a Hebrew name derived from the biblical patriarch Joseph, son of Jacob and Rachel. The name means "he will add" or "he will increase" in Hebrew. It has been a popular name among Christians and Jews for centuries, with various spellings and forms across different languages and cultures.
Marcus, on the other hand, is a Roman name of Latin origin, derived from the name of the Roman god Mars, the god of war. It was a common name among ancient Romans and has remained popular in many Western cultures over time.
While there are no known historical references or ancient texts specifically mentioning the name Jomarcus, its composite elements have been present throughout history. Some notable individuals with the name Joseph include Joseph of Arimathea, a biblical figure who provided a tomb for Jesus, and Joseph Smith, the founder of the Latter-day Saint movement (1805-1844).
As for Marcus, some famous bearers include Marcus Aurelius, the Roman emperor and Stoic philosopher (121-180 AD), Marcus Garvey, the Jamaican political activist and leader of the Black Nationalist movement (1887-1940), and Marcus Tullius Cicero, the Roman statesman, orator, and philosopher (106-43 BC).
While the name Jomarcus itself is a modern invention, its roots can be traced back to the rich histories of the names Joseph and Marcus, each with its own cultural and linguistic significance.

FAQ
Jomarcus: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Jomarcus?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 6 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Jomarcus going back to 1880 and adjusting each cohort for expected survival using CDC actuarial life tables. The result is an age-weighted living-bearer count, not a raw birth total. That works out to about 1 in 57,125,723 US residents.
Is Jomarcus a common name?
We classify Jomarcus as "Very Rare". It ranks above 22.3% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 6 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Jomarcus most popular?
The single biggest year for Jomarcus was 1996, when 6 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Jomarcus is about 29 years old gives you a rough sense of which era contributed the most bearers who are still alive today.
What does the SSA popularity chart show?
The chart tracks births, not the number of people alive with the name today. Each point shows how many babies were given the name Jomarcus in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Jomarcus a male name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Jomarcus in the SSA data are male. You can see the full per-sex comparison in the gender distribution section above, which includes the latest year rank, birth count, and peak year for each sex.
Is Jomarcus still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Jomarcus in 2024, and the page above shows its latest-year rank where available. A name can be well past its peak and still remain in steady use, especially if it built up a large population over earlier decades.
Why can a name have a lot of living bearers even if it is not trendy now?
Because living-bearer counts and current baby-name popularity measure different things. A name like Jomarcus can build up a very large population over many decades, even if fewer parents are choosing it now than they did at its peak.
Where does this data come from?
First-name figures come from the Social Security Administration's national baby name files, which cover every name on a birth certificate from 1880 to 2024. Living-bearer estimates layer in CDC actuarial life tables broken out by sex to account for mortality. The population baseline (342,754,338) is the Census Bureau's latest national estimate. You can read the full calculation on our methodology page.
Does every first name have Census demographic data?
No. The public Census first-name release only covers names that met the Bureau's publication rules, so many rarer names in the SSA files do not have a published Census demographic snapshot. In those cases, the page still shows the SSA trend, gender history, and state data.
