Marqu is English in Origin.

Marqu is a modern English given name, most often a clipped form of names beginning with Marqu-, such as Marquis, Marquez, Marquese, or Marquette. Through these sources it connects to two roots: Latin Marcus (“dedicated to Mars”) and Medieval Latin marchio, via Old French marquis, “a nobleman in charge of a border territory” (the marches). Spanish Marqués and Portuguese Marquês (and the surname Marques) also feed the stem, carried into English as surnames and given names.

The standalone spelling Marqu appears in late 20th- and early 21st-century records, favored for its sleek, minimalist look and use as a distinctive update to Mark/Marc. Variants and related forms include Marq, Marque, Marqui, Marquis/Marquess, Marquese/Marquise, Marquez, Marquelle, and Marquette; nicknames include Mar and Q. Depending on the family’s reference point, the name’s meaning is read as either “devoted to Mars; warlike” (from Marcus) or “nobleman; border ruler” (from marquis). Usage remains uncommon but recognizable across English-speaking communities.
