Definition
马克 is a transliterated loanword with two common noun senses: as the Western given name 'Mark' (e.g., 马克·吐温, Mark Twain), and as the former German currency unit 'Mark' (德国马克). Context disambiguates — names are often followed by a surname or used as a person's name, while currency appears in financial or historical contexts.
