Within 10 miles or so of my home there's quite a few I've stumbled across over the years.

That is not the same word spelled various ways, but two different words.

mar·quis
n. (mär-kē′)
1. pl. mar·quis (-kēz′)
a. A nobleman ranking below a duke and above an earl or a count.
b. Used as a title for such a nobleman.

[Partly from French marquis and partly from Middle English marques, both from Old French marquis, marchis, from marche, border country, of Germanic origin; see merg- in Indo-European roots.]

https://www.thefreedictionary.com/marquis

Margrave is the English version of the German word markgraf or border count. The French form is Marquis and the English form Marquess.

Marquee:

Definition of marquee
(Entry 1 of 2)

1chiefly British : a large tent set up for an outdoor party, reception, or exhibition
2a: a permanent canopy often of metal and glass projecting over an entrance (as of a hotel or theater)The hotel doorman was stationed under the marquee.
b: a sign usually over the entrance of a theater or arena that displays the names of featured attractions and principal performersThe brightly lighted marquee displayed the title of the movie currently featured.

Definition of marquee (Entry 2 of 2)

: having or associated with the name recognition and attraction of one whose name appears on a marquee : BIG-NAME, STAR

Then there is a Letter of Marque:

A letter of marque and reprisal (French: lettre de marque; lettre de course) was a government license in the Age of Sail that authorized a private person, known as a privateer or corsair, to attack and capture vessels of a nation at war with the issuer. After capturing, the privateers could bring the case of that prize before their own admiralty court for condemnation and transfer of ownership to the privateer. A letter of marque and reprisal would include permission to cross an international border to conduct a reprisal (take some action against an attack or injury) and was authorized by an issuing jurisdiction to conduct reprisal operations outside its borders.

Marque derives from the Old English mearc, which is from the Germanic *mark-, which means boundary, or boundary marker. This is derived from the Proto-Indo-European root *merǵ-, meaning boundary, or border. The French marque is from the Provençal language marca, which is from marcar, also Provençal, meaning to seize as a pledge.

And now we come to Maquis:

The Maquis (French pronunciation: [maˈki]) were rural guerrilla bands of French Resistance fighters, called maquisards, during the Nazi occupation of France in World War II. Initially, they were composed of young, mostly working-class, men who had escaped into the mountains and woods to avoid conscription into Vichy France's Service du travail obligatoire ("Compulsory Work Service" or STO) to provide forced labor for Germany.[1] To avert capture and deportation to Germany, they became increasingly organized into active resistance groups.

Originally the word came from the kind of terrain in which the armed resistance groups hid, high ground in southeastern France covered with scrub growth called maquis (shrubland).[2]

Although strictly speaking it means thicket, maquis could be roughly translated as "the bush";[3] in Corsica, the saying prendre le maquis 'to go into the bush' is used to describe someone who leaves the village in order to live in the bush, either biding time to seek revenge, or while being pursued by others with an intent to arrest or kill.[citation needed] Historians have not established how this Corsican term arrived on the mainland of France, but observe that:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maquis_(World_War_II)

The Maquis (mah-KEE), otherwise known as the Maquis Resistance, were a resistance group that consisted of Federation-born colonists and discontented Starfleet officers who organized against the Cardassian occupation of their homes in the Demilitarized Zone after their colonies were ceded to the Cardassian Union by Federation Cardassian Treaties in the late 2360s and early 2370s.

The Maquis were named after the French resistance group during World War II. (Star Trek: The Next Generation Companion (2nd ed., p. 290); Star Trek Encyclopedia (4th ed., vol. 2, p. 18); Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Companion (p. 134))

Hah! Warp Drive!

 

[Forbin]

There's a "Warp Drive" down in South Carolina near where my mother lives. I saw it when I was visiting once, then I could never find it again on other visits, and I can't find it on a map of the area. Either I was hallucinating, or the town changed it.

 

[Kraig]

Hah! Warp Drive!

Warp Drive is easy to find, just go south on Crusher Ave. and turn east on Picard Lane and you'll run right into it. If you miss the left on Picard stay on Crusher you will wind up on Federation Court.

There is also Ryker Court, Alexander Court for the son of Worf. Stone Court for the TOS Commodore who held Court Martial for Kirk. I guess you could say for that episode that Kirk was on Stone Court.

There's also a "Warp Drive" in Virginia at Northrop Grumman (originally Orbital Sciences Corporation)

As well as "Pon Farr Court" in Virginia.
