someone recently referred to me as "Martita" and it is a spanish word. Does anyone know the meaning of this word? or is is simply a common name?

"Martita" is the diminutive of the Spanish name "Marta". The English version of "Marta" is "Martha".
Women called "Marta" are very frequently called "Martita".
On the other hand, it also refers to a small "marta", which is an animal called "marten" in English.

If your name is "Martha" (Spanish = Marta), then Martita is the Spanish equivalent of calling you "Martha dear" or "little Martha"....Like we might say "Billy" instead of "Bill" or "Susie" instead of "Susan". You wouldn't make "-ita" or "-ito" out of someones name unless you knew them well.

I think it is just a name - an affectionate version of Marta ?
