Martie

Looking for a gender-neutral name with a retro yet modern vibe? Give Martie a try! A shortened form of Martin, Martina, and Martha, Martie has an impressive list of origins and definitions. Martin and Martina link Martie to Martinus, a Roman title that means "son of Mars." As the Roman god of war, Mars was a protector of ancient Rome, its borders, and the Roman way of life. If your Martie also has a protective streak, getting them to share toys and belongings may take a little convincing. Martha has Aramaic roots and lends Martie the translations of "the lady" or "the mistress," so don't be surprised if your kiddo likes (and requests) five-star service at mealtimes.
