Marlin

The name Marlin is derived from the type of fish known as the marlin, a large and powerful species of billfish.

The word 'marlin' itself comes from the French word 'marlin', which means a small hammer, referring to the fish's elongated, hammer-like shape.

The name was likely adopted as a masculine given name in reference to the strength and agility associated with the marlin fish.

While the name has maritime connections, it has also gained popularity as a unique and versatile name choice, particularly in English-speaking countries.
