[Facts] That's a pretty good guess :) (m)
in reply to a message by Ylva
In that name the R isn't always pronounced as a rolling R. That would lead to the pronouciation MAHTS-yahOther possibilities:
Martje (form of Martin)
Matsje (from either: Martin, Matthew, Mathilde,
Maatje (form of Martin)
But these are less likely, because they're not commonly used, Maartje is used way more often.
