 Austria The distinguished surname Marko comes from Austria, and is believed to be of two origins. Firstly, the name is derived from the personal names "Machtolf" and "Maginold," and indicates "son of Machtolf or Maginold." Alternatively, the name is derived from "markolf," meaning "jay bird;" in this instance, the name would have been originally bestowed as a nickname on someone possessing the characteristics of a jay bird, eventually becoming a surname. Early Origins of the Marko familyThe surname Marko was first found in the region of Bodensee, where the name is believed to have first emerged. The earliest recorded bearers of the name were Cuonr, and Hainr, germani cognomine Mahtolf, who lived in Eigeltingen, Stockach in 1296. The young Marko family was instrumental during this early period, contributing greatly to the development of medieval Austrian society.
