Ġebel San Martinis a housing estate at Żejtun. The word "ġebel" in Maltese means a hill or stones. The name of this estate may originate from the stones that was found there.

Before the building of the housing estate in the 1980s, only Buleben il-Kbir Alley existed. Today, Ġebel San Martin is the most modern area of Żejtun.
