Of Mars; warlike
Martino is the Italian form of the Latin name Martinus, which is derived from the Roman god Mars. Historically associated with Saint Martin of Tours, the name carries a legacy of both military strength and compassionate service. It remains a classic choice in Italy while feeling fresh and exotic in an American context.
