Margorie Origin and Meaning

The name Margorie is a girl's name.

Margorie is a feminine name that represents a spelling variant of Marjorie, which itself developed as a medieval Scottish form of Margaret. Tracing back to Greek origins, the name ultimately derives from 'margarites' meaning 'pearl.' This particular spelling with the 'g' instead of 'j' was more common in earlier centuries before spelling standardization. Margorie carries the same warm, classic appeal as Marjorie, evoking images of vintage charm and gentle elegance. The name enjoyed moderate popularity throughout the early-to-mid 20th century but became less common in recent decades. With its soft sounds and traditional roots, Margorie offers a subtle twist on a classic name, providing both familiarity and a touch of distinction for those seeking a name with historical depth.
