Mad as a March hare. To be as mad as a March hare is an English idiomatic phrase derived from the observed antics, said to occur only in the March breeding season of the Hare, genus Lepus.
March [march] as a boys' name is of Old French origin, and the meaning of March is borderland, frontier. In Italy, le marche was a territory between two ancient kingdoms. In England, the Marches of western England border Wales. March as in walk derives from a slightly different root. The name may also be used to signify the month of birth. Actor Frederic March.
