''Kazıklı Bey'' is a Turkish term meaning ''Impaling Lord''; It is a Turkish version of the Slavic title ''Kazıklı Voyvoda'', which was given to Vlad the Impaler by the Ottomans.

In Mesopotamian mythology, ''Marduk'' was a Babylonian storm god who created the earth and sky from the slain body of the great dragon Tiamat who, with her consort Abzu, created the first generation of gods. Marduk then slew their son Kingu and used his blood mixed with earth to create humanity. He was revered as the patron deity of Babylon.
Morgan has stated that many have misunderstood his rationale behind choosing the name ''Marduk'' for his band. According to him, the purpose of selecting it was to promote a blasphemous irony, as the deity ''Marduk'' represented light, but the band's message is the complete opposite of that. In other words, it was intended as a mockery. (source: Metal Archives)
