Marty originated as an English diminutive of Martin, tracing back to the Latin name Martinus and the Roman god of war, Mars. It has also served as a shorthand for Martha.

The average living bearer is fifty-seven years old, placing the name firmly in the demographic overlap of late Baby Boomers and early Generation X. It carries the straightforward confidence of someone who knows how to jump-start a station wagon without consulting a manual.
