martisca Explanation: I don't think you can transliterate it into Italian because of the "sh" sound etc. Is it a child's name? a marmoset, a small monkey? zzz |

martishka Explanation: or martyshka - that's how you would write this in latin-based alphabet. It is not a name, but a term of endearment, sometimes used for a child, particularly an active and mischievous one. It means "small, cute monkey", and originates from the scientific name for a small type of monkey (marmoset) |
