MEANING & HISTORY
What does Marte mean?
Nordic Names explicitly records Marte as a variant of Marta. The linked Marta entry places that form in the Martha family.
This is a researched personal-name route distinct from the identical Romance word for the planet Mars. The spelling alone cannot decide whether a particular bearer follows the Marta route or an independent planetary association.
