Mar or Mor in Aramaic means "sir", "master", or "Saint...". Mar Yeshu Mashikha means, in some forms of Aramaic, "Lord Jesus Christ". The "tha" in this name feminizes the title, giving Martha the meaning of "respected lady", or in later use "(female) Saint...". Mart Maryam, for example, is an Aramaic form of Saint Mary. [noted -ed]

The meaning listed here is questionable. I find for biblical names, concordances are often much more reliable for accurate meanings...

"Ma was the name of the Great Goddess of Comana; MA was the amulet representing Isis's fountains of nourishing fluid, MA was the primal deep, the world womb; MA was the death-rebirth syllable of the Persians, MA was the spirit of Intelligence, which in Hindu belief first bound together all the elements to make coherent forms."

I think it's pretty clear that this name means Mother Earth.

This comes from Aramaic "Maretha" meaning lady or mistress. It is the feminine of mar, mara meaning lord or master.
