Malloree

Malloree is a variant spelling of Mallory, a name with Norman French origins derived from the Old French 'maloret,' meaning 'unfortunate' or 'unlucky.' Despite its somewhat inauspicious meaning, the name gained popularity in the English-speaking world during the late 20th century. This specific spelling variation with the double 'e' ending emerged as parents sought more distinctive versions of familiar names. The modified spelling gives the name a more elaborate, feminine appearance while maintaining the same pronunciation as Mallory. Less common than the traditional spelling, Malloree appeals to parents who appreciate the sound and style of Mallory but desire a more unique presentation for their daughter.

Pronounced MAL-or-ee.

As of October 2026, Malloree ranked #16796 in US births in 2021 SSA, peaked at #6911 in 1986.
