Maarten is Dutch in Origin.
Maarten is the Dutch form of Martin, ultimately from Latin Martinus, meaning "of Mars" or "warlike." The name entered common use throughout the Low Countries in the Middle Ages under the influence of Saint Martin of Tours, a popular patron whose feast on 11 November (Sint-Maarten) remains widely celebrated. The name has maintained steady use in the Netherlands and Flanders from medieval guild rolls to modern registries.
Variants and cognates include Dutch Marten, Martijn and the scholarly Martinus; German Merten; Scandinavian Morten and Mårten; Irish Máirtín; Hungarian Márton; Catalan Martí; Spanish Martín; Italian Martino; and English/Welsh Martin/Martyn. Diminutives in Dutch are Mart and Tinus; feminine counterparts are Martina and Martine. Notable bearers are the admiral Maarten Harpertszoon Tromp, painter Maarten van Heemskerck, novelist Maarten 't Hart, and goalkeeper Maarten Stekelenburg.
