A variant spelling of Martin, typically used as a surname or given name.
From Latin Martinus, derived from Mars, the Roman god of war. The name became popular through Saint Martin of Tours (4th century), known for his charity and military service.
The legend of Saint Martin cutting his cloak in half to share with a beggar gave rise to the phrase 'Indian summer' - the warm weather that sometimes occurs around his feast day in November.
