MEANING & HISTORY
What does Mart mean?
Mart is a familiar form of Martin. Latin Martinus is traditionally associated with Mars, the Roman god of war.
The short form keeps the first part of the name rather than adding an independent modern meaning. It should not be explained through the ordinary English noun mart, a market, in this documented naming route.
