Narrative

Mordechai מרדכי means Servant/Follower/Devotee of Marduk (arduka or Marduku) in Persian and Aramaic.
Mordecai מרדכי is considered identical to the name Marduka or Marduku, the creator in Babylonian mythology, and so the term might have been understood by Jews to mean simply Servant of God.
Since Marduk was a war god, Servant of Marduk may denote a warrior.
The name may have been derived from Aramaic mar dochi; mar being a title address for a gentleman and dochi, meaning One Who Incurs Merit.
In the Book of Esther, Mordechai מרדכי was the cousin and foster father of Esther.
