In the vernacular, it protects whistleblowers from victimisation and dismissal. In the United States, legal protections vary according to the subject matter of the whistleblowing, and sometimes the state in which the case arises. In passing the 2002 Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the Senat ...

The name originates partly from Latin: a Roman clan name (Marcius) and first name (Marcus) associated with the Roman god of war, Mars. It is usually said to mean "martial" or "great warrior". A similar form is Marcellus, or "little Mark", which gives names such as the French Marcel and the Italian Marcello. Symbolic meaning of the word can also be derived from ancient contexts. In the thirteenth century, the Venetian Marco Polo visited the court of Kublai Khan and brought back the first accurate description of China. The name was introduced in England about the same time, but it was seldom used until the 1800s, when it was adopted in B ...
