Marjorie

The rather sophisticated name of Marjorie is a timeless classic that dates back to Medieval times. With Old English origins, Marjorie and its twin, Margery, were at their most popular during the 1920s. Both stem from Margaret, with ties to the Greek term margarites, signifying “pearl.” In more recent decades, both spellings of this name have dropped down the baby name charts, making it a rare gem, just like baby. A famous and inspirational bearer of this name is Marjorie Stinson, who was a stunt pilot with the nickname “Flyingschool Marm.” If you want your child to soar to dizzy new heights, Marjorie is a fitting name.
