Strong's Lexicon Martha: Martha Original Word: Μάρθα Part of Speech: Noun, Feminine Transliteration: Martha Pronunciation: MAR-tha Phonetic Spelling: (mar'-thah) Definition: Martha Meaning: Martha, sister of Mary and Lazarus of Bethany. Word Origin: Of Aramaic origin, from the word מַרְתָּא (Marta), meaning "lady" or "mistress." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for the name Martha, the Aramaic origin connects it to the concept of a "lady" or "mistress," which can be related to the Hebrew word גְּבִירָה (gebirah), meaning "lady" or "queen." Usage: Martha is a personal name used in the New Testament, primarily associated with the sister of Mary and Lazarus. She is depicted as a devoted and hospitable woman, often concerned with the practical aspects of service and hospitality. Cultural and Historical Background: In the first-century Jewish context, hospitality was a highly valued virtue, and women like Martha played a crucial role in managing household affairs. Martha's interactions with Jesus reflect the cultural expectations of women during that time, as well as the transformative impact of Jesus' teachings on traditional roles.
