Martina Bergman-Österberg (née Bergman; 1849 – 1915) was a Swedish-born physical education instructor and women's suffrage advocate who spent most of her working life in Britain. After studying gymnastics in Stockholm she moved to London, where she founded the first physical education instructors' college in England, to which she admitted women only. Bergman-Österberg pioneered teaching physical education as a full subject within the English school curriculum, with Swedish-style gymnastics (as opposed to the German model) at its core. She also advocated the wearing of gymslips by women playing sports, and played a pivotal role in the early development of netball. Bergman-Österberg was an advocate of women's emancipation, directly encouraging women to be active in sport and education, and also donating money to women's emancipation organisations in her native Sweden. Several of her students founded the Ling Association, which later became the Physical Education Association of the United Kingdom.

Martina is the femine form of Martin and it means "God (In feminine Goddess) of War" Indeed I have a sensitive soul but I have the spirit of a Warrior. I overcome obstacles and challenges (with the help of my Higher Power) I am a champion! Thank you Mom and Dad for such a meaningful name. ❤.

Martina itself is a very pretty Italian name. There was a woman named Marty in a Robyn Carr book. I hated that name being used for a female. It's a man's name. We never find out what the character's full name is, but I'm guessing it was either Martina or Martha.

Martina is a very common name in Czech and Slovak republics. It had become popular via Martina Navratilova. I didn't like it when I was a child, I wanted a more common old fashioned name like Zuzana (Susan) or Tereza (Therese) etc but as an adult I appreciate it more as it is quite rare where I live now. Also I like how it is pronounced in English as opposed to Czech. I used to work for a lady who would call me Martine which is the French version. My parents would use a nickname Tina or Tinka derived from Martina, Martinka.

I know an adorable little girl named Martina nickname Marta. Meeting her totally changed my perception of this name. It's a fun and spunky choice that makes a nice alternative to the increasingly trendy Matilda or the horrendously overused Madeline/Maddison names. It's familiar and easy to spell, yet not a predictable choice.

It's different yet beautiful. I like "Marti" as a nickname.

My mother's name is Martina, but everyone calls het Tina. Problem is I know a Tina, and really don't like her. So I call my mother Martina. It's an okay name, shame it's just another derived from male-name.

In Bulgaria "Martina" is connected with the Bulgarian word "mart", which means "March". In this country "Martina" is thought as a derivative of "Marta". In Bulgaria "Marta", "Martin" (the stress is on the "i"), Martina have a nameday on 1st March - the day of "baba Marta" ("grandma Marta"), who ties "martenichki" (or "martenitzi") (bracelets made of 2 interwoven threads - white and red) to children's wrists with a wish children to be healthy the whole year. The "Martenichka" (or the "martenitza") could be also a combination of 2 pieces of wool - white and red - resembling triangles - which are tied by a string made of a white and a red thread, the most beautiful of this type are the combination of a boy and a girl called respectively "Piju" [pronounced (piju), not (pidju)] and "Penda". Bulgarians tie each other with "martenichki" bracelets or adorn one another with the 2nd type of the "martenichki" for health. In Bulgaria the 1st March is thought as the beginning of spring - waking up of nature, a new beginning.
