Malvie Origin and Meaning

The name Malvie is a girl's name.

Malvie is an uncommon feminine name with possible connections to several origins. It may be a variation of 'Malvina,' a Scottish name meaning 'smooth brow,' or could relate to 'malva,' the Latin word for mallow flower. Another possibility is that it's a diminutive form of names containing 'mal' elements. Malvie has a vintage, sweet quality that aligns with the revival of early 20th century names. While never achieving widespread popularity, Malvie occasionally appeared in records during the early 1900s, particularly in southern regions of the United States. The name offers a charming, distinctive option with a gentle sound and nostalgic feel for parents seeking something rare but accessible.
