Origin: Latin

Meaning: Dedicated to Mars; Hammer

If baby is from Mars (and not from Venus), Martell is a fierce choice! This masculine moniker has Latin roots, and means “dedicated to Mars” or “hammer,” the latter of which is due to Martell being used as an occupation name for a smith. Game of Thrones fans will love this name’s connection to the noble House Martell of Sunspear. Whether baby Marty finds comfort in the stars, in the banging of a hammer, or in the pages of a book, they are sure to suit this strong and versatile choice.
