The name Marcandrew is a unique combination of two separate names, Marc and Andrew. It is believed to have originated in the late 20th century, likely in English-speaking countries where parents began creating amalgamated names by combining two existing names.
The first part of the name, Marc, is derived from the Latin name Marcus, which itself has origins in the Roman name Martius. Martius was a name given in honor of the Roman god Mars, the god of war. The name Marc has been used throughout history and has variants such as Mark, Marco, and Markus.
The second part of the name, Andrew, has Greek origins and is derived from the name Andreas, which means "manly" or "brave."

FAQ
Marcandrew: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Marcandrew?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 6 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Marcandrew going back to 1880 and adjusting each cohort for expected survival using CDC actuarial life tables.

The single biggest year for Marcandrew was 1995, when 6 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Marcandrew is about 30 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 Marcandrew in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.

Is Marcandrew still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Marcandrew 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 Marcandrew 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.
