Origin

Latin origin, derived from the Roman name 'Marius', which itself possibly stems from a Roman family name with uncertain etymology.

It appears to be a Modern coinage or variation inspired by classical roots, without known Aboriginal or Māori origins.

The name 'Marnus' can be loosely associated with the Latin root 'Mars', referencing the Roman god of war, implying qualities like strength and resilience. In Australian English contexts, it may carry connotations of toughness or resilience, echoing the rugged Australian landscape and pioneering spirit.

Pronunciation
