Marta

Spanish for Martha since the th is not used and cannot be pronounced in Spanish. Pronounced in English it sounds nice and more youthful than Martha.

I think Marta is a beautiful name that has an added spunk to it that truly resonates with me for some reason or another.

Martha is one of those names that I've never liked - all I can picture is an old woman smiling. No emotions, no feelings behind the smile, just a creepy, blank smile. Or a teenager from the 1800's. Marta, on the other hand, is beautiful! Not only does it convey so many different images to my head, but it just sounds so soft, yet strong. I love it. It feels very Italian to me.

It's an okay name, but kinda plain and boring.

I think it's a lovely name. I think of either a bright young child or a loving mother. It sounds quite professional too. But with people talking lazily all the time, they might say "Mar-da". Now that would really get on my nerves.

In Sweden, we say and spell it "Märta", which makes quite a different sound. (The Ä is like the A in "and".)

Personally, spelled and pronounced that way, I think it's one of the worst names around, at least in Sweden.

So much better than Martha. Nice name.

I like how it's somewhat traditional, but the removal of the h somehow gives it nice emphasis.

Plain and boring.

Does anyone else think of the bus station when you hear this name?

I love the name Marta! It makes me think of Marta's Song/The Russian Dervish from Riverdance.

This name reminds me of a hard working and loving woman.
