I have no ideea about any serious sources regarding the Marcomir. This
is why I said I don't know where from is coming this word. The name
Marcomir is given in several net pages, but I fell the need to
underline, _ I did not read it in a ancient source or in the work of
someone who could give us ancient sources for this name_.

But just a game now. At least first part of the word "marco-" is to find
in names / toponyms of indo-iranians too?
As for european part, this is fully of it, even in celtic ( marco),
latin ( marcus aurelius) , germanic ( marcomanii), thracian (marcodava),
?greek.. greek? Huh, do we miss a Greek variant of "marco"?
