Marjorie

Marjorie is an English name that originated as a medieval vernacular form of Margaret, itself derived from Latin Margarita and ultimately from Greek margaritēs, meaning pearl. The name gained independent standing in Scotland and England during the Middle Ages, borne notably by Marjorie Bruce, daughter of the Scottish king Robert the Bruce, through whom the Stuart royal dynasty descended. Its spelling variants include Margery, which shares the same medieval root, and it remains closely related to the widespread European family of Margaret names including Margot, Marguerite, and Greta.
