Martin (name)
Martin may either be a surname or given name.
Martin is a common given and family name in many languages. In some languages, and as a given name, it comes from the Latin name ''Martinus'', which is a late derived form of the name of the Roman god Mars, the protective godhead of the Latins (and therefore the god of war).〔Albert Dauzat, ''Dictionnaire étymologique des noms de famille et prénoms de France'', Larousse, Paris 1980. p. 420. New completed edition by Marie-Thérèse Morlet.〕 The meaning is usually rendered in reference to the god as "of Mars", or "of war/warlike" ("martial").
It has remained a popular given name in Christian times, in honor of the Catholic saint Martin of Tours; it is also the most common French surname. Along with its historic Catholic popularity, it has also been popular among Protestants due to Martin Luther. In addition, African American children are often given the name in honor of Martin Luther King, Jr.. Additionally, many Black Americans have the name Martin as a family name.
==Origin==
The name is a shorter version of the Latin name Martinus.
