History
Throughout the history the place was under Russian, Polish, and Soviet rules and therefore it may be referred to by multiple names and spellings, including Marcinkańce (Polish name), Martsinkantse (phonemic transliteration of the Polish name), Martsinkantsy (transliteration of the Russified Polish name), and Martsinkonis (transliteration of Russian Марцинконис).[2]
The settlement was first mentioned in 1637 as a camp of foresters. It began growing after completion of the railway station in its location for the Warsaw – Saint Petersburg Railway in 1864.
During the Holocaust, the town had the Marcinkonys Ghetto for the Lithuanian Jews. Some Jews escaped during the liquidation of the ghetto and managed to survive the war.[3]
Etymology
The name Marcinkonys comes from a personal name Lithuanian: Marcinkónis (also Marcìnka, Marciñkus) which originates from Slavic forms for a name Martin, Marcin (Polish: Marcinko, Marcinek, Belarusian: Маpтынчык).[4]
