Martusha is in Origin.

Martusha is a tender Slavic diminutive of Marta/Martha, formed with the affectionate suffix -usha in Russian and Belarusian, and parallel to Ukrainian/Polish Martusia/Martusya. The root name derives from Aramaic Martā, meaning “lady” or “mistress (of the house),” a sense popularized by the New Testament Martha of Bethany and carried through centuries of Christian naming across Europe.

Used primarily as an intimate home form for girls named Marta (Polish, Croatian, Slovak, Ukrainian) or Russian Marta, Martusha has recently begun to appear - though still rarely - as a standalone given name, especially in diasporic communities favoring cozy, playful styles. Close variants and cognates include Marta, Martha, Márta (Hungarian), Marta (Spanish/Italian/Scandinavian), Marfa (Russian), Martusia/Martusya (Ukrainian/Polish), and the double-diminutive Martushka. Informal nicknames such as Marti and Tusya/Tusja may arise in everyday use. Martusha balances affectionate softness with the dignified “lady” meaning at its core.
