Martene is a feminine given name of Latin origin, derived from Martinus—“of Mars”—and adapted into English-speaking contexts with the pronunciation mar-TEEN (/mɑrˈtin/). Usage statistics in the United States reveal its rarity: six newborns named Martene in 1950 (rank 673) and a modest resurgence in the early 1980s, with 19 occurrences in 1981 (rank 764) and eight in 1982 (rank 797). This pattern suggests that, despite its classical roots, Martene has never attained widespread popularity, offering a distinctive choice for parents who value historical resonance without mainstream ubiquity. Its straightforward phonetic structure and subtle martial association lend it both clarity and an undercurrent of strength—qualities that appeal to those seeking a name with depth yet minimal competition.
