In 2025, 115 babies in England and Wales were named Martin. In the US, 1,276 were, though that figure is from 2017 — the most recent full year we hold. Its US peak was 6,071 in 1963.
Looking further back: between 1880 and 2008, Martin was most common in 1885, when it went to 0.31% of American babies of that sex. Squarely vintage-revival territory.
