Marcin - male name of Latin origin. It descends from the words "belonging to Mars".
It is the Polish language equivalent of the English given name Martin (name). As such, a foreign individual with the first name "Martin" would be called "Marcin" by someone speaking Polish. (For example: Martin Luther would be referred to as pl:Marcin Luter.) This does not apply to surnames, so Ricky Martin is known just as Ricky Martin in Poland.
It is a standard name in Poland - when interacting with foreign speakers, some Marcins will anglicize their names into Martin, some into Marc, and some stick with Marcin.
Persons named Marcin would celebrates one of the following name-days: January 30, April 13, October 8, October 24, November 3, November 11, December 7 and December 29.
