Mallery

Mallery is a variant of the more common name Mallory, which has Norman-French origins and traditionally means 'unfortunate' or 'ill-fated' from the Old French 'malheuré.' Despite this rather somber meaning, Mallery has evolved to take on a more contemporary and pleasant association. As a feminine name, it carries a gentle, melodic sound that appeals to parents looking for something traditional yet not overly common. Mallery has never ranked among the top names in the US but remains a distinctive choice that has seen occasional usage throughout the decades, particularly in English-speaking countries.

Pronounced MAL-uh-ree.

As of October 2026, Mallery ranked #11586 in US births in 2014 SSA, peaked at #2571 in 1985.
