What does Marshall mean?
/ˈmɑɹʃəl/2 syllablesOrigin: a surname

Marshall is an English surname turned given name, from the Old French mareschal. The word originally meant "keeper of horses," combining Germanic roots for "horse" and "servant," before evolving in military contexts into a term for a high-ranking commanding officer - the sense that survives in titles like "field marshal."

Marshall has a sturdy, dependable ring to it - a name for a companion who feels like backup you can count on, steady and a little commanding.
