      French

      Meaning

      Servant of Mars

      Variations

      Martinez, Marinel, Martina
      The name Martine originates from the French language and holds its roots in the Latin name Martinus. In Latin, Martinus is a derivative of Mars, the Roman god of war. Therefore, the name Martine can be interpreted as Servant of Mars.

      Throughout history, the name Martine has been used in various cultures and countries. In the Middle Ages, this name gained popularity due to the widespread veneration of Saint Martin of Tours, a 4th-century bishop known for his acts of charity. As a result, many boys were given the name Martin, while Martine emerged as its feminine form.

      In modern-day usage, Martine continues to be a well-known name, particularly in French-speaking regions. It is often chosen by parents wanting a name with historical and religious connotations. Martine has also seen international usage, expanding beyond French-speaking countries. It has become a favorite choice for parents looking for a feminine name that has a strong yet elegant touch. With its origins deeply rooted in the service of the Roman god Mars, Martine carries a sense of strength and endurance, making it a timeless and meaningful choice for many.
