Μάρκος G3138
Mark (Markos); the Latin-derived personal name of John Mark, companion of Paul, Barnabas, and Peter.
Markos is the Greek form of the Latin name Marcus, borne by John Mark — a significant figure in the early church. He was the cousin of Barnabas (Col 4:10), accompanied Paul and Barnabas on their first missionary journey before departing at Pamphylia (Acts 13:13; 15:37-39), and later was reconciled with Paul, who called him 'useful for ministry' (2 Tim 4:11). Peter affectionately calls him 'my son' (1 Pet 5:13), and tradition identifies him as the author of the Gospel of Mark. All translations render the name phonetically: French 'Marc,' German 'Markus,' Spanish 'Marcos.'
