Martiin is an Estonian-adapted form of Martin, from Latin Martinus, meaning “of Mars” or “warlike.” In Estonian spelling, the doubled i marks a long vowel, so the name is pronounced mar-TEEN, distinguishing it from Martin. The root spread across Europe with the veneration of Saint Martin of Tours, making related forms among the continent’s most enduring Christian given names.

Variants include Martin (international), Martín (Spanish), Martí (Catalan), Martijn (Dutch), Martyn (English/Welsh), Marcin (Polish), Márton (Hungarian), Mārtiņš (Latvian), and Martino (Italian); feminine forms are Martina and Martine. Estonian short forms and cognates include Mart and Märt, while diminutives elsewhere include Marti and Marty, with Tino used in Romance languages. Martiin remains rare outside Estonia and modern diasporas, yet carries the classic martial association of its Latin ancestor along with a distinctly Estonian phonetic flavor.
