- Origins Available:
 Scotland Ireland The root of the ancient Dalriadan-Scottish name Markie is the personal name Aodh, which is often Anglicized as Hugh. The Gaelic form of the name is Mac Aoidh, which means son of Aodh. Early Origins of the Markie familyThe surname Markie was first found in Ayrshire (Gaelic: Siorrachd Inbhir Àir), formerly a county in the southwestern Strathclyde region of Scotland, that today makes up the Council Areas of South, East, and North Ayrshire, where they held a family seat from early times and their first records appeared on the early census rolls taken by the early Kings of Scotland.

| Markie migration to the United States | + |
Many settled along the east coast of what would become the United States and Canada. As the American War of Independence broke out, those who remained loyal to the crown went north to Canada as United Empire Loyalists. The ancestors of all of these hardy Dalriadan-Scottish settlers began to recover their collective history in the 20th century with the advent of the vibrant culture fostered by highland games and Clan societies in North America. Highland games, clan societies, and other organizations generated much renewed interest in Scottish heritage in the 20th century. The Markie were among the earliest of the Scottish settlers as immigration passenger lists have shown:

Emigration to New Zealand followed in the footsteps of the European explorers, such as Captain Cook (1769-70): first came sealers, whalers, missionaries, and traders. By 1838, the British New Zealand Company had begun buying land from the Maori tribes, and selling it to settlers, and, after the Treaty of Waitangi in 1840, many British families set out on the arduous six month journey from Britain to Aotearoa to start a new life. Early immigrants include: Markie Settlers in New Zealand in the 19th Century- George Markie, aged 23, a carpenter, who arrived in Auckland, New Zealand aboard the ship "Dorette" in 1874 2
- Fanny Markie, aged 17, who arrived in Auckland, New Zealand aboard the ship "Dorette" in 1874 2
- Mr. George Markie, (b. 1851), aged 23, British settler travelling from London aboard the ship "Dorette" arriving in Auckland, New Zealand on 14th April 1874 3

The motto was originally a war cry or slogan. Mottoes first began to be shown with arms in the 14th and 15th centuries, but were not in general use until the 17th century. Thus the oldest coats of arms generally do not include a motto. Mottoes seldom form part of the grant of arms: Under most heraldic authorities, a motto is an optional component of the coat of arms, and can be added to or changed at will; many families have chosen not to display a motto.
Motto: Labore
Motto Translation: By labour.
