Marrilyn
Marrilyn Origin and Meaning
Marrilyn is a feminine name that represents a spelling variation of Marilyn, which itself developed as a combination of Mary and the '-lyn' suffix popular in the early 20th century. The doubled 'r' gives this version a distinctive appearance while maintaining the melodic three-syllable pronunciation. The name gained its greatest recognition through Marilyn Monroe, and this variant carries those glamorous, feminine associations while offering a unique twist. Though less common than the standard spelling, Marrilyn appeals to parents who appreciate the classic charm of Marilyn but desire something slightly different. The name carries a vintage Hollywood elegance combined with approachability. Like the standard spelling, this version has declined in popularity since its mid-20th century peak but retains a timeless quality.
