Etymology

  1. Mars (planet)
  2. Mars (Roman god)

Usage notes

The name of the god could, through interpretatio romana, serve to replace the name of a war god in a foreign language. Thus Saxo Grammaticus, for example, uses the term to refer to the Norse god Odin, alternating it with the borrowed form Ōthinus.
