Marte — boys' name

What the Data Says About Marte

The Social Security Administration has registered 139 babies named Marte between 1961 and 2017, spanning 57 consecutive years of U.S. birth records. As a boy's name, Marte currently falls outside the top 1,000 boys' names for 2017. The name reached its historical peak in 1993, when 9 babies received it in a single year. Marte is classified as unisex in SSA records: the opposite-sex variant accounts for 35 additional births since 1952.

Decade-level aggregation shows that Marte performed strongest in the 1990s, accumulating 52 births during that ten-year window. Across the 6 decades of recorded activity, Marte shows a clear decline from its mid-century high.

No etymological entry is currently available for Marte in our reference dataset. These figures derive from SSA's annual national and state-level name files, which include any name appearing at least five times in a given year or state-year; names below that threshold are suppressed for privacy and therefore excluded from the totals shown here. The 139 total represents a lower bound — actual usage may be higher in years or states where the count fell below the disclosure floor.
