Marti Origin and Meaning

The name Marti is a girl's name.

Marti is a versatile name used for both girls and boys, though more commonly feminine in recent decades. As a feminine name, it often serves as a nickname for Martha (Aramaic for 'lady' or 'mistress') or Martina (feminine form of Martin, derived from Mars, the Roman god of war). As a masculine name, it's frequently a diminutive of Martin. In Spanish-speaking cultures, Martí (with an accent) is a Catalan surname and given name. The short, punchy quality of Marti gives it a casual, friendly appeal while retaining connections to its more formal origins. The name saw modest popularity in the United States during the 1950s-1970s, particularly for girls. Marti projects an unpretentious, approachable quality with vintage charm and cross-cultural appeal.
