Marthin is in Origin.

Marthin is a spelling variant of Martin, from Latin Martinus, “of Mars,” hence “warlike” or “dedicated to Mars.” The cult of Saint Martin of Tours spread the name across Europe from late antiquity, sustaining its popularity through the Middle Ages. The intrusive th reflects older Germanic and Scandinavian orthography that sometimes used th for a hard t; accordingly, Marthin appears sporadically in parish registers in Germany and Denmark-Norway. In South Africa, it also aligns with Afrikaans Marthinus, from which Marthin may be shortened.

Today Marthin is uncommon but recognizable. Close variants include Martin, Martyn, Martim (Portuguese), Martino (Italian), Martín (Spanish), Martí (Catalan), Máirtín (Irish), Marcin (Polish), and Martynas (Lithuanian). Feminine counterparts are Martina, Martine, and Martyna; diminutives include Marty, Marti, Tino, and Tinus. Many cultures observe 11 November (St. Martin’s Day) as the name day.
