Of Mars; warlike or dedicated to the god Mars.
Demarrius is a modern American elaboration of the name Marius. It likely combines the popular 'De-' prefix with the Latin name Marius, which is derived from Mars, the Roman god of war. It may also be influenced by the name Demetrius, though its phonetic structure leans more heavily toward the Roman clan name.
