Mawrth is Welsh in Origin.
Mawrth is the Welsh name for both the month of March and the planet Mars, a loan from Latin Martius/Mars via early Brittonic. The underlying sense is “of Mars,” evoking the Roman war-god as well as spring’s renewal, so the name carries twin associations of vigor and new beginnings. In Welsh it also labels Tuesday (Dydd Mawrth), preserving the old planetary weekday system.
As a given name, Mawrth is very rare but usable and largely unisex in modern Wales and the diaspora, fitting trends for calendar and celestial names. There are no established diminutives in Welsh; spellings vary little. Cognate or functional equivalents include March (English), Mars and mars (French deity/planet and month), März (German), Marzo (Spanish, Italian), Márta (Irish), and Martie (Romanian). Related Welsh terms are Ionawr, Ebrill, etc., the other Latin-derived month names.
Mawrth is absent from every birth registry and name dataset we follow. That's typically a sign of a rare name, a regional or traditional one, or a modern coinage. By any reading, it's an exceptionally uncommon choice.
