A girls’ name of Aramaic origin, meaning lady or mistress of the house.
Marta by the numbers
In 2025, 31 babies in England and Wales were named Marta. In the US, 62 were, though that figure is from 2017, the most recent full year we hold.
For the size of the two countries, it is given several times more often in England and Wales than in the US.
Its American peak was 444 babies in 1957, so it is a 1950s name that has since fallen a long way.
