Marthan Origin and Meaning

The name Marthan is a girl's name.

Marthan is an unusual feminine name that appears to be a variant of Martha, which has Hebrew origins meaning 'lady' or 'mistress of the house.' This rare elaboration adds the suffix '-an' to the biblical name Martha, creating a distinctive alternative. Martha itself has been popular throughout Christian history, being the name of a friend of Jesus in the New Testament known for her practicality and hospitality. Marthan maintains these associations while offering a unique twist. The name has remained extremely uncommon in modern usage, making it an option for parents seeking a rare name with recognizable biblical connections.
