The combination is primarily used in English-speaking Christian cultures, particularly in the United States and United Kingdom, where hyphenated given names became popular in the 20th century; both component names have extensive Christian usage due to New Testament apostles Saint Mark and Saint James, though Mark's Roman origin predates Christianity.
