An uncommon Latin pick — distinctive and rare.
A diminutive of the male given names Martin or Marten.
Marty is a boy's and girl's baby name of Latin origin, a diminutive of Martin, from the Latin Martinus meaning 'of Mars,' the god of war, or 'warlike.' Marty McFly of Back to the Future made this name synonymous with time-traveling adventure, while Marty Robbins and other country legends gave it enduring American warmth.
Marty was #2332 twenty years ago and has since drifted to #2608, but its charm endures.
