Marlos is Portuguese in Origin.
Marlos is a modern given name with two credible sources. In Lusophone usage, it is widely seen as a blended form of Mario and Carlos, combining Latin Marius (possibly "of Mars") with Germanic Karl ("free man"). In English contexts, Marlos can function as a variant of Marlo/Marlowe, the surname-place name traced to Old English elements for lake and hill or "lake's remnants," yielding meanings like "hill by the lake."
The name is rare before the late 20th century, but it gained visibility in Brazil and Eastern Europe through the Brazilian-Ukrainian footballer Marlos (born 1988), and has since appeared sporadically in Portuguese- and Spanish-speaking countries. Variant spellings include Marlós (Portuguese stress mark), Marlo, Marlow, Marlowe, and the related Marlon. Common nicknames are Mar and Lo(s). Marlos is predominantly masculine, though Marlo/Marlowe appear as unisex in English-speaking use.
