What is the meaning of the name Martins ?

The baby name Martins is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced /ˈmɑr.tɪnz/ (MAR-tinz).

Martins is Galician, Latin in Origin.

Martins is a masculine given name rooted in Latin Martinus, meaning “of Mars” or “warlike,” referencing the Roman god of war. It gained broad European currency through the veneration of Saint Martin of Tours (4th century), which propelled Martin- names across Christendom. In Latvian, the standard form is Mārtiņš, widely borne and tied to the autumn festival Mārtiņi (name day 10 November); outside Latvia, the diacritic-free Martins often appears as an anglicized spelling. The form also occurs as a given name in parts of West and Central Africa, where Christian naming and Portuguese/English influence play a role. In Portuguese, however, Martins is primarily a surname meaning “son of Martin.”

Variants and cognates include Martin (English/French/German), Martín (Spanish), Martyn (English/Welsh), Martijn (Dutch), Martino (Italian), Marti (Catalan), Morten/Morten (Scandinavian), and Mārtiņš (Latvian). Diminutives and short forms include Marty, Marti, and Tino (from Martino).
