Marc by the numbers
In 2025, 16 babies in England and Wales were named Marc. In the US, 296 were, though that figure is from 2017, the most recent full year we hold.
For the size of the two countries, it is given several times more often in the US than in England and Wales.
Its American peak was 5,012 babies in 1970, so it is a 1970s name that has since fallen a long way.
