"Blend of De and Marquis"
The name Demarquis is commonly a male name.
Demarquis is a modern American formation that joins the prefix De-, familiar from given names such as DeAndre and DeMarcus, with the name Marquis. Marquis is an established American given name, identical in form to the French title of nobility. The name first appears in United States birth records in 1973, which is consistent with the De- prefixed naming pattern rather than with an older inherited name.
The pronunciation of Demarquis is duh-MAR-kwis.
