SOURCE RECORD

Marcelito resembles the Spanish diminutive pattern and appears in published Spanish prose explicitly called a diminutive. That passage does not name its longer parent, however.
A researched account connecting the exact form to Marcelo or another base is still needed before assigning a Marcus or Mars etymology.
