原文: I'm proud to be a Martha. Yes, it sounds old fashioned but it's a name that signifies dignity and strength. It's not a common name and never a popular name which makes it distinctive. In Aramaic, it means lady. It is the feminine version of Mar, which means lord. Besides, it was my beloved grandmother's name. No more need be said. Name trends come and go but this name is timeless. All you Marthas out there, bear your name with pride.
原文: Martha, rambling rose of the wildwood. Martha with your fragrance divine, oh Martha how I wish you were mine. So, goes the old song that I was sung by my father many years ago. I can't say I really love the name nor can I say that I hate it. It has been mine all of my life and I have not taken the time or initiative to change it, so it must not be that bad. All of my life I have thought that it was an old lady's name, and now I guess that I am aging that I have become more and more the symbol of the name. I guess I just haven't found another name that I like better or would want to keep. So, I hang on to this old thing and hope that in the hereafter there is a far better one waiting for me. And yes, my kids are all instructed not to name any of my future grandchildren Martha - ever!
原文: Many people think of the name Martha as an "old lady name", and to some extent, I agree with them. However, Martha is an admittedly cute name. It is distinctive, and now quite uncommon. Old names such as Olivia, Emma, and Ava are now coming back in style, so why shouldn't Martha?
原文: My mother's name is Martha and it sets a high bar for anyone else who has the same name; Like Oprah or Beyonce, it is one of those names that stands by itself: The name reflects tradition and a strong, selfless, fearless, classy, thoughtful person that everyone looks up to. Someone who brings out the best in everyone.

翻译文: 不是一个坏名字。它只是真的过时了,我看到它更适合50岁或以上的人。
原文: Not a bad name. It's just really dated and I see it more fitting on somebody who is 50 years of age or above.
原文: My name is Martha Jayne, and I'm 25, so Martha isn't completely an "old lady name". I'm named after my grandmother, Martha Ann, who goes by Marty, and *her* grandmother, Mary Jane... My mom added the 'y' to 'Jane' when I was born because she said I was too special to be a "plain Jane"...

翻译文: 马拉或莫拉在亚拉马语中意指“先生”,“主人”或“圣...”。 Mar Yeshu Mashikha在某些形式的阿拉姆语中,意为“主耶稣基督”。在这个名字的“tha”女性化的标题,给玛莎的“尊敬的女士”的意思,或在以后使用“(女)圣...”。例如,玛丽亚玛丽亚是圣玛丽的阿拉姆语形式。 [指出]
原文: Mar or Mor in Aramaic means "sir", "master", or "Saint...". Mar Yeshu Mashikha means, in some forms of Aramaic, "Lord Jesus Christ". The "tha" in this name feminizes the title, giving Martha the meaning of "respected lady", or in later use "(female) Saint...". Mart Maryam, for example, is an Aramaic form of Saint Mary. [noted -ed]
原文: The name Martha is an amazing name! Martha sounds nice. It reminds me of the character with this name in the novel The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett. :)
原文: When I was little I didn't like my name. I knew no one else with the name Martha and I was teased because my name was unusual or, as some have written here, sounded like an old woman's name. But I grew into it. It is a classic, elegant name (not that I'm necessarily elegant). It is old-fashioned, but old-fashioned names are all the rage these days. Way to make people feel bad about their name by saying stuff like "it sounds like vomiting" and other horrible things! Please. Some people will find fault with everything.
原文: I have a beautiful little sister named Martha, who I call "Miffy\". She's adorable, and this is such a classy name. I love it!She also gets:MaMartieMimiMattieMarthieMally.

翻译文: 玛莎是女主角的名字,卡拉的母亲在“独角兽编年史”。
原文: Martha is the name of the heroine, Cara's, mother in "The Unicorn Chronicles."
原文: When I think of the name Martha, a strong, but feminine, person comes to mind; kind and pretty, with a good head on her shoulders. I think it's a good name that ages well. I would not use it on one of my own children, but that's only because it hasn't reached my favorites. Martha is a name that will never grow old. A gem forever.

翻译文: 玛莎是一个讨厌的,但有趣的说话狗的名字在儿童节“玛莎说话”。
原文: Martha is the name of the annoying but amusing talking dog on the children's show "Martha Speaks".
原文: The meaning listed here is questionable. I find for biblical names, concordances are often much more reliable for accurate meanings...http://www.biblegateway.com/resources/hitchcocks-bible-names-dictionary/Martha
原文: I think this name is awfully cute. And not to mention pretty, while other forms of it are too. However it's really outdated. Maybe as a middle name, but other than that I wouldn't use it.
原文: The impression I get from this name is that of a nosey neighbor, nosey woman. It's probably because of the tv character "Martha Huber" played by Christine Estabrook, from the tv sitcom "Desperate Housewives". Makes me think a "Martha" is someone who is a nosebag and gets into everyone's business, it's not her business but she likes to make it her business. On the contrary, a Martha is a rich and successful business woman such as "Martha Stewart", whom I love. Personally, I like this name, I'm pleased.
原文: The book "Indigo" by Alice Hoffman, as well as the book "The Secret Language" by Ursula Nordstrom, both have important characters in them named Martha. Also, the "Gemma Doyle" trilogy and "His Dark Materials" both have supporting characters named Martha in them.
原文: Martha Hatter is a character in Diana Wynne Jones's brilliant 1986 fantasy novel Howl's Moving Castle. She is the main character Sophie's half-sister.
原文: Someone mentioned George and Martha as a story about two hippos. Also, George and Martha Washington. But another George and Martha, (and what Martha brings to my mind) is Elizabeth Taylor as Martha and Richard Burton as George in "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?" Great movie.
原文: It's a pretty, classic name, and not too common. It won't sound dated in thirty years time (Chanelle, anyone?), and it grows with the bearer. I think Martha May is a nice combination.

原文: 'Martha' is a beautiful opera by von Flotow -contains the beautiful Irish tune 'The last rose of summer' which has been incorporated into the score.
原文: A few people mention Martha Kent as a famous bearer. Another famous (although likely not by first name) bearer within the DC universe is the late mother of Bruce Wayne/Batman, Martha Wayne, wife of the also late Thomas Wayne. Apparently Martha was a really mumsy name when those characters were created! lolIt's not my favourite name but it's okay and cute-ish, I think.

原文: Song by Country Joe and the Fish: Not So Sweet Martha Lorraine. I prefer Marta.
原文: I love the name Martha, it is such a cute name that ages well. I can imagine a little Martha, an adult Martha and a grandmother Martha, unlike the immature-sounding name I was given (which I plan to change).
原文: I can't believe some said this name sounds like vomit. Also cannot believe how many people think of old ladies. I love this name. It is an old fashioned name. I am proud to be named Martha. One of my favorite nicknames would be Marty. I am 25 and have met 3 other people named Martha, 2 of which were around same age as me. And I also love how French people pronounce the name Mar-ta. It is all around a beautiful name. The name also has a Bibical meaning, which I love about the name. And then there is Martha's Vinyard, which was named after the explorer's daughter. So Martha is a great name. I love it.

原文: I find this to be a very sweet name with a lot of dignity and class as well.
原文: I love this name, I think it sounds so pretty, it's feminine and classic, and not trendy! I love using the nicknames Mary or Marley for this name. Not a fan of Marty.
原文: One of my best friend's names is Martha and she's 15. So it's not as old as some people make it out to be =). I used to not like this name until I met her and know I find it really pretty. And no one misspells it!

翻译文: 关于“医生”的新伴侣被命名为玛莎·琼斯。
原文: The new Companion on "Doctor Who" is named Martha Jones.
原文: My name is Martha and I'm only 24, so it's not an old lady's name. I like my name and think it's a pretty, feminine name, not to mention I like its meaning. There are several authors named Martha, among them Martha Graves and Martha Moore. There are several fictional Marthas, like Martha Kent from "Superman" and Martha Sowerby from "The Secret Garden," among others. Again, I like my name and I know for a fact that it's not for old ladies.
