Márton is the Hungarian form of the Latin name Martinus, derived from Martinus meaning "of Mars" or "belonging to Mars," the Roman god of war. The name spread widely across medieval Europe through the immense popularity of Saint Martin of Tours, the fourth-century bishop venerated for sharing his cloak with a beggar. Márton has been a common given name in Hungary for centuries and corresponds to cognates such as Martin, Martín, Martino, and Marten found across European languages.
