Insights
Today, Marlon is an uncommon name (popularity 41/100).
It is less common today than at its historical peak.
The name Marlon is of English origin, derived from the French surname 'Marlon'. The surname itself comes from the Old French word 'merle', meaning 'blackbird' or 'falcon'. Over time, it evolved into a given name, often associated with strength and agility, much like the bird of prey it references. The name gained popularity in the 20th century, partly due to the fame of actor Marlon Brando.
