Fun fact, the Dominion enabled the Cardassians to kill all the Marquis… Thousands of people. It’s canon…. In Voyager Chokotay gets a letter about it, and has to tell the surviving Marquis all their commerades are dead!
A Marquis is a type of French nobleman, like the Marquis de Sade.
A Maquis is a French word for shrubland, which was the type of rough terrain that rural cells of the French Resistance hid in during WW2, which was why these rural cells gained the name the Maquis. This in turn inspired the resistance fighters in the demilitarized zone between the Federation and Cardassion Union, particularly in the Badlands.

That fact, was not in fact, “fun”
Edit: There was also an entire episode about B’elanna basically being super depressed and pretty much becoming suicidal about it.
Maquis. No “R”.
