Origin of Martins
1425–75; late Middle English (Scots ) martoune; presumably generic use of the personal name (< French < Late Latin Martīnus ), traditionally by association with March (Latin Mārtius ), when the bird arrives, and Martinmas, when it leaves; though Middle English, Old French martinet has been applied to a variety of birds; compare French martin-pêcheur kingfisher
Word origin for Martins
C15: perhaps from St Martin , because the birds were believed to migrate at the time of Martinmas
