Tinek

Tinek is a Slovene masculine name functioning as a diminutive or familiar form of Martin, which derives from the Latin Martinus, itself rooted in Martis, the genitive form of Mars, the Roman god of war. The name thus carries the underlying sense of belonging to Mars or warlike. Martin has been widely used across Europe for centuries, bolstered by the fame of Saint Martin of Tours, the fourth-century bishop venerated throughout the Christian world. Related forms include Matej, Tine, and the international variants Martin and Martino.
