See? I have a good relationship with babies. This is Ethan (Hebrew for "constant"), my friend Nancy's (Hebrew for "grace") boy.
Looking up my name in Baby Name Books has always been hard - Marta is usually a sub-name under Mary or Martha. In my sister-in-law's 'The Greatest Baby Name Book Ever' (she and my brother have picked pretty good names for their kids: Natasha, Stella, George) I looked up my name in all of its variations: Mary, Martha, Martina. Here are the meanings:
Mary: Hebrew for "rebellious" or "bitter"
Martha: Aramaic for "lady"
Martina: Latin for "warlike"
Ha ha.
