Origin and meaning of Martina

Martina is the feminine of Martino, from the Latin Martinus, derived from Mars, the Roman god of war — hence the sense of 'dedicated to Mars, warlike'. Energetic in spirit yet harmonious in sound, it is borne by Saint Martina, martyr and patron of Rome. Widespread in Italy, Spain, Germany and Central Europe, it unites strength and grace, and remains a popular, ever-current choice for its understated elegance.
