Name list
Marmaduke is a masculine given name. A historical reference is found an American genealogy book where the author, Isaac Newton Earle, references his relative named Marmaduke: "The name Marmaduke is from the Anglo-Saxon and means “a mighty noble”." Also, the author highlights that it is a very unusual name.[1] In England the name is mentioned as being used in Yorkshire, but of probable Gaelic origin. As an Irish name, Marmaduke is interpreted as: Máel Máedóc, meaning "follower of Saint Máedóc".[2][3]
