Origin
Meaning and history of Marvion
The name Marvion is of Latin origin, derived from the Roman name Marvius, which itself is a variation of the name Marius. The name Marius is believed to have been derived from the Latin word "mas," meaning male or masculine.
The earliest recorded use of the name Marvion can be traced back to ancient Rome, where it was used as a personal name for men. However, it was not a particularly common name during that time period and there are few historical records or references to individuals bearing this name.
One of the earliest known individuals with the name Marvion was a Roman soldier who lived during the 1st century AD. Unfortunately, little is known about his life and accomplishments beyond his service in the Roman army.
In the 5th century AD, a man named Marvion is mentioned in a collection of religious texts as a Christian martyr who was persecuted for his faith. However, the details of his life and the circumstances surrounding his martyrdom are not well documented.
During the Middle Ages, the name Marvion seems to have fallen out of use, and there are no notable historical figures recorded with this name during this period.
In the 16th century, a Italian poet and playwright named Marvion Della Rovere (1490-1560) gained some recognition for his works, which included comedies and satires. He was born in Venice and is considered one of the early Renaissance writers in Italy.
Another individual with the name Marvion was a French nobleman named Marvion de Montfort (1552-1612), who served as a military commander during the French Wars of Religion in the late 16th century.
In the 18th century, a British explorer and naturalist named Marvion Sykes (1718-1792) made significant contributions to the study of flora and fauna in the Caribbean region. He published several books documenting his findings and observations during his travels.
It's worth noting that throughout history, the name Marvion has remained relatively uncommon, and there are few other notable individuals recorded with this first name.

FAQ
Marvion: questions and answers
How many people in the U.S. are named Marvion?
Name Census puts the figure at roughly 139 living Americans. We arrive at this by taking every SSA birth registration for Marvion 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 2,465,859 US residents.
Is Marvion a common name?
We classify Marvion as "Very Rare". It ranks above 69.2% of all first names in the SSA dataset by living bearers. Across the full history of the data, 141 babies have been registered with this name.
When was Marvion most popular?
The single biggest year for Marvion was 2003, when 14 babies received the name. The fact that the average living Marvion is about 19 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 Marvion in that year. That makes it useful for spotting when the name rose, peaked, or faded.
Is Marvion a male name?
Yes, 100.0% of people registered as Marvion 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 Marvion still being used today?
Yes. The SSA still recorded Marvion 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 Marvion 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.
