Maryon Origin and Meaning

The name Maryon is a girl's name meaning "drop of the sea, bitter, or beloved".

Variant of Marion, a name that maybe surprisingly is used for twice as many girls as boys -- about 120 to 60 -- in the US. Surprisingly, Marion hung on longer to the boys' Top 1000, until the late 1990s, than to the girls', which is left in the late 1960s.

Still, we see this as a classic that could be ripe for revival.
