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 isn't a very common name, and I think it is quite pretty.
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.
Even though this name is basically just Martin with an 'a' added to it, it sounds feminine and pretty cool. After all, the stress is on the second syllable.
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.
