Marquezs

Marquezs is a surname of Spanish origin. It is a patronymic derived from the given name Marcos, meaning “son of Marcos.” The traditional Spanish spelling is Márquez, which carries an accent on the a to indicate the correct pronunciation. In English-language contexts, the surname is often written without the accent as Marquez.

The Márquez surname is widespread in Spain and across the Spanish-speaking countries of Latin America. It is common in Mexico, Colombia, Venezuela, Argentina, Chile, and other regions with historical ties to the Spanish language. Diaspora communities have carried the name to the United States, parts of Europe, and other areas through migration and settlement.

Notable people with the surname Márquez include Gabriel García Márquez, the Colombian writer and Nobel Prize in Literature laureate, and Juan Manuel Márquez, the Mexican professional boxer and former world champion. The name appears across various fields, including politics, sports, and the arts, reflecting its broad geographic distribution.

The plural form “Marquezs” is not a standardized spelling in either Spanish or modern English. In practice, references to multiple individuals with the surname Márquez typically use the full names (e.g., Gabriel García Márquez, Juan Manuel Márquez) or refer to “the Márquez family” rather than a fixed plural form of the surname.
