What is the meaning of the name Martine ?

The baby name Martine is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced English: mar-TEEN (/mɑrˈtiːn/),French: mar-TIN (/maʁ.tin/).

Martine is French in Origin.

Martine is the French feminine form of Martin, from Latin Martinus, itself derived from Mars, the Roman god of war; the name carries the sense “of Mars,” “warlike,” or “dedicated to Mars.” Used across the Francophone world and also common in Dutch and Scandinavian contexts, Martine pairs Roman roots with a clear, modern sound. In French it is pronounced mar-TEEN; in Norwegian and Dutch, final -e is articulated (mar-TEE-neh / mar-TEE-nuh).

Veneration of Saint Martin of Tours spread the Martin/Martina family widely in medieval Europe, and Martine emerged as a distinctly French feminine by the early modern period. The name saw strong mid‑20th‑century use in France, Belgium, and Québec, and peaked in Norway in the late 1980s–1990s. Related forms include Martina (Italian, Spanish, many languages), Martyna (Polish/Lithuanian), Martinha (Portuguese diminutive), and diminutives Marti, Tina, and Tine.
