Meaning and origin of the Martes last name
Meaning of the Martes last name: tuesday in Spanish, with a separate Italian explanation. Spanish Martes can be a nickname from martes, “Tuesday.” The dictionary identifies a separate southern Italian possibility involving Greek Martios, “March,” or another formation from Mars. That Italian explanation is tentative. A Spanish-speaking family's name should not automatically receive the March interpretation instead of Tuesday.
