The mark-* keybindings are all over the place and they are hardly consistent (e.g. check out the bindings for sexp, defun and paragraph), but I guess in the case of mark-page the "p" in C-x C-p does carry some meaning. It would have been nice if all of those used some consistent prefix (e.g. how easy-kill does things), but I think this ship has sailed, as a lot of people are quite used to the current keybindings.
