Does anyone know what the name "Martie" means?

Question

Oh by the way...It's a girls name!

Answer 1

Note that some names do not have one simple root. Sometimes similar names from different languages, unrelated in their unrelated origins, can fall together or be combined. That makes it difficult to assert which ONE is "the root".

So in this case there are two possible ways this name could come about (and probably both of them have happened). You can probably take your pick!

1) "Martie" is one of many feminine names based on a masculine name. (Especially interesting examples are "Andi" from "Andrew" which means "male", and the warrior name "Carl/Carol/Charles" which has been used to create the feminine names Carol, Carla, Caroline, Charlotte, Charleen.)

In this case, the name would be derived from the male name "Martin" --
"From the Roman name Martinus, which was derived from Martis, the genitive case of the name of the Roman god MARS."

"Mars", in turn, may come from "mas" (genitive form "maris"), meaning "male".

(Based on the fact that Mars was the god of war, some baby name books say that the name means "warlike". But there is no reason to believe the word has that meaning. WARNING -- (baby) name books and sites are notoriously unreliable. The research they used if very mixed --some good, some very careless-- and there is often an effort to make the name sound as attractive as possible rather than to get the facts straight. 'behindthename.com' is an exception to this; it is generally quite solid.)


2) "Martie" as an English variation on "Marti" could be based on the form "Marta" -- the version in many languages of the Aramaic girl's name "Martha"

"Martha" is Aramaic for "the lady/mistress" (that is, mistress of a household)

[FWIW, the masculine form, meaning "the lord/master" is "mara". It is found in the ancient church cry "Maranatha" -- "Come, Lord!"]

Pet form of MARTIN
From the Roman name Martinus, which was derived from Martis, the genitive case of the name of the Roman god MARS. Saint Martin of Tours was a 4th-century bishop who is the patron saint of France. According to legend, he came across a cold beggar in the middle of winter so he ripped his cloak in two and gave half of it to the beggar. Five popes have borne this name. Two other influential bearers were Martin Luther, the theologian who began the Protestant Reformation in the 16th century, and more recently Martin Luther King, the American civil rights leader who fought for racial equality.
