Comments for the name Martina

Martina McBride is a famous country singer-songwriter.

"Martina" could be interpreted as a sum of the names "Mar" and "Tina", both of which are feminine names.

"Mar" is a Spanish word which means "sea".

In Bulgaria "Martina" is connected with the Bulgarian word "mart", which means "March". In this country "Martina" is thought as a derivative of "Marta". In Bulgaria "Marta", "Martin" (the stress is on the "i"), Martina have a nameday on 1st March - the day of "baba Marta" ("grandma Marta"), who ties "martenichki" (or "martenitzi") (bracelets made of 2 interwoven threads - white and red) to children's wrists with a wish children to be healthy the whole year. The "Martenichka" (or the "martenitza") could be also a combination of 2 pieces of wool - white and red - resembling triangles - which are tied by a string made of a white and a red thread, the most beautiful of this type are the combination of a boy and a girl called respectively "Piju" [pronounced (piju), not (pidju)] and "Penda". Bulgarians tie each other with "martenichki" bracelets or adorn one another with the 2nd type of the "martenichki" for health. In Bulgaria the 1st March is thought as the beginning of spring - waking up of nature, a new beginning.

My name is Martina, and as I child I used to hate it. I wished my name was Katie or Lauren. Now I realize that it allows me to stick out in a crowd.

My aunt's name - named for her father, Martin. I think it's quite a girly name. It's nice but don't like the short form, Tina.

My mother's name is Martina, but everyone calls het Tina. Problem is I know a Tina, and really don't like her. So I call my mother Martina. It's an okay name, shame it's just another derived from male-name.

A cute nickname for this (in my opinion) would be Marty. To me, that sounds like a fun-loving, outgoing tomboy.

Czech and Slovak pronunciation is "mahr-TYEE-nah" (shortly).

Even though this name is basically just Martin with an 'a' added to it, it sounds feminine and pretty cool. After all, the stress is on the second syllable.

In Italy Martina is overused since the 1980s. It was the 6th most popular name in Rome in 1986, the 2nd in 1991 (behind Giulia) and the 5th in 1994 (behind Giulia, Francesca, Federica and Chiara); the 2nd most popular in Italy in 2004 (behind Giulia) and the 4th in 2006 (behind Giulia, Sara and Sofia).

It's different yet beautiful. I like "Marti" as a nickname.

I know an adorable little girl named Martina nickname Marta. Meeting her totally changed my perception of this name. It's a fun and spunky choice that makes a nice alternative to the increasingly trendy Matilda or the horrendously overused Madeline/Maddison names. It's familiar and easy to spell, yet not a predictable choice.

Martina could mean 'small sea' or 'little ocean'.

The Dutch pronunciation for Martina is the same as the Italian and Spanish pronunciation (mahr-TEE-nah). [noted -ed]

It's an anagram of AM train, lol.
