Marquis refers to a nobleman whose ranking was below a duke but above a count or an earl. It is also used as a title given to such a nobleman. Marquis is the French variation of the title which in English is called Marquess and Margrave.

The term comes from the Middle English word marques; from the Old French word marchis, marquis; it is from marche, meaning border country, which is of Germanic origin.
