Mallorie Origin and Meaning
The name Mallorie is a girl's name.
Mallorie is a feminine name that serves as a variation of Mallory, which derives from the Norman French 'maloret,' meaning 'unfortunate' or 'unlucky.' Despite this somewhat somber etymology, the name has evolved to be associated with more positive qualities. This spelling variant with 'ie' instead of 'y' adds a softer, more feminine touch to the traditional form. Mallorie gained popularity in the mid-20th century but remains relatively uncommon, giving it a distinctive quality without being completely unfamiliar. The name carries a classic yet accessible feel, balancing tradition with contemporary style. Parents might be drawn to Mallorie for its gentle sound, slight uniqueness, and connection to medieval heritage.
