Marilee

Marilee is a feminine title and a beautiful intertwining of names like Mary, Mari, and Lee. This cheerful moniker has a vintage vibe, having reached peak popularity in 1942. Since then, it’s been less common, but why not bring it back for your bundle of joy? Both Mary and Mari are English forms of the Hebrew Miryam, which carries the translations “sea of bitterness,” “rebelliousness,” “wished-for child,” and “beloved.” Lee also has English roots, stemming from the element lēa, meaning “meadow” or “clearing.” With all these endearments in one adorable name, little Marilee will have no shortage of inspiration.
