   • 1953, John Wyndham [pseudonym; John Wyndham Parkes Lucas Beynon Harris], “Phase One”, in The Kraken Wakes, Harmondsworth, Middlesex: Penguin Books Ltd, published 1966, page 12:

     ‘There’s another one. There can’t be two Marses,’ said Phyllis. / And sure enough there was. A smaller red point, a little up from, and to the right of, the first.

   • 1964 November 30, Philip K[indred] Dick, “[To Carol Carr]”, in The Selected Letters of Philip K. Dick, volume 1 (1938–1971), Grass Valley, Calif.: Underwood Books, published 1996, →ISBN, page 136:

     Well, see, we’re building a steam-driven solar system from a kit. (Cheaper than the Japanese miniaturized, transistorized models, which have two Marses and no Earth sometimes.)

   • 1977, Ian Watson, “Mummy-cloth”, in The Martian Inca, London: Victor Gollancz Ltd, section four, page 47:

     The planet Mars, seen by Cro-Magnon eyes, presumably was a blue summer world with air and water. Winter Mars, seen by modem man, a red ice-capped desert. Two Marses coincided briefly in his mind’s eye, then rushed apart into endless cycles of Red and Blue … Human fingers intended to halt Mars at the moment of perfection, and hold a whole world there!

   • 1918, Ruth Stanley Farnam, A Nation at Bay: What an American Woman Saw and Did in Suffering Serbia, page 57:

     Mars rode upon the storm of horror and drank his fill of pain and blood. When the Serbian Army retreated before the foe, four times its own strength, it went backward facing the enemy and fighting every step of the way.

   • 1944, McGraw-Hill, Engineering and Mining Journal, volume 145, page 54:

     A relieved world then will eagerly turn to the task of reclaiming the destruction wrought by Mars ... A tremendous task, filled with infinite possibilities ... A profitable task, according to how well you are prepared to do your part in the rehabilitation ...

From Old Latin Māvors, from Proto-Italic *Māwortis,^[1] or from Proto-Italic *Māmart-. If Māvors indeed comes from *Māmart-, the apparent change */-m-/ to */-w-/ is a unique and isolated change.^[2] Mamers was his Oscan name. He was also known as Marmor, Marmar and Maris, the latter from the Etruscan deity Maris. See also the Lapis Satricanus, where 𐌌𐌀𐌌𐌀𐌓𐌕𐌄𐌆 (Mamartei) is attested. Possibly also related to Sanskrit मरुत् (marut, “Maruts, violent storm-gods”).^[3]
