Martita is in Origin.

Martita is the Spanish affectionate diminutive of Marta/Martha, ultimately from the Aramaic Martâ meaning “lady, mistress.” The -ita suffix marks endearment or smallness, so Martita conveys “little lady” in tone while keeping the original sense.

Common across Spain and, more prominently, Latin America, it functions both as a household nickname and, since the mid-20th century, as an independent given name on civil records - often linked to Catholic reverence for Saint Martha. Usage is familiar in Mexico, Colombia, Peru, Chile, and the Caribbean. Related forms and cognates include Marta and Martha; alternate diminutives such as Martica (notably in Colombia), Martucha, and Marti; Portuguese Martinha; and Catalan Marteta. When the base name is spelled Martha, the parallel pet form Marthita also appears. Martita remains warm, lively, and traditional, balancing biblical roots with a distinctly Hispanic affectionate flair.
