Girl
Marquita
Marquita is a girl's name meaning "Spanish feminine diminutive", drawing on Spanish roots. It had its heyday in the 1980s and has mostly fallen out of use since. Today, it is on the rarer side without being unusual in the registry. Few names stick around this long: it shows up across almost the entire twelve-decade span this registry covers.
