What does Mars mean?
1 syllable

Mars was the Roman god of war, one of the most important deities in the Roman pantheon and namesake of the fourth planet from the sun, whose reddish color reminded early astronomers of blood and battle.

Mars is short, strong, and a little mysterious - it suits a companion with real intensity and presence, one who commands the room without trying.
