Marjie Origin and Meaning

The name Marjie is a girl's name of French origin.

Marjie is a diminutive form of Margaret, which derives from the Greek 'margarites' meaning 'pearl.' This sweet, informal variation emerged as a nickname before sometimes being used as a given name in its own right, particularly in the mid-20th century. Marjie has a friendly, approachable quality with its soft ending and familiar sound. It shares roots with other Margaret derivatives like Margie, Maggie, and Marge, but offers a slightly different spelling that gives it a distinctive touch. While never reaching significant popularity charts, Marjie has maintained a quiet presence, appealing to those who appreciate vintage names with an affectionate, familiar quality.
