Marcha is a rare feminine given name rooted in Latin via the Roman family name Marcius, ultimately linked to Mars, the god of war; its meaning is "devoted to Mars" or "warlike." The form most often arises as a phonetic or orthographic variant of Marcia/Marsha, reflecting the MAR-sha pronunciation rendered with ch in Dutch, Spanish, and Portuguese spelling traditions.

Usage is sporadic across Europe and the Americas, with isolated attestations in the Netherlands (including use as a stage name) and occasional records in Latin America and the United States during the mid-to-late 20th century alongside the popularity of Marcia and Marsha. Related forms and cognates include Marcia, Marsha, Marci/Marcie, Marcella/Marcela, and the masculine Marcus, Mark, and Marco. While uncommon, Marcha retains a crisp, modern sound anchored by a venerable classical lineage, offering a distinctive alternative to its better-known sisters.
