Martiah is English in Origin.

Martiah is a modern English feminine name that fuses the sound of Mariah with the Latin-rooted Martia. Through Mariah it connects to Hebrew Miriam, a name of debated meaning often interpreted as "wished-for child," "beloved," or "drop of the sea." Through Martia it ties to the Roman nomen Martius, from Mars, yielding the sense "of Mars; warlike." As such, Martiah can carry either a tender, devotional nuance or a spirited, martial one.

Usage of Martia dates back to classical Rome, while Mariah appears in English records from the 17th century and rose in late-20th-century America, encouraging creative spellings like Martiah. The form remains rare, chiefly in the United States. Related variants and cognates include Martia, Mariah, Maria, Miriam, Marta, and Martha; short forms might be Mari, Ria, or Tia.
