About Marjorie
Scottish Marjorie and her English twin Margery were early twentieth century favorites that date back to medieval times, when it was popular among the royals. They were at their height in the 1920s, when they were seen as more lively versions of the old standard. Marjorie was always the preferred spelling, in the Top 25 from 1920 to 1927.
Derived from classic Margaret, both spelling variants have endured time off the popularity lists, but their three syllables and "ee" ending has meant Marjorie at least now holds vintage charm. The name of a Taylor Swift song that appeared on her "Eras Tour", Marjorie was one of the fastest rising names in the US in 2024 when it re-entered the Top 1000.
One notable namesake is Marjorie Stinson, a pioneering aviator who was the first female airline pilot. Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings was the author of the moving novel The Yearling and Margery Williams's name is on the cover of kiddie favorite The Velveteen Rabbit—and there's always the old nursery rhyme "See-Saw, Margery Daw."
Nickname Margie was seen as a prime pert teenager moniker in movies and such vintage TV shows as My Little Margie. Marge is strongly associated with Homer Simpson's wife. Jorie might make for a fresher nickname these days, though MJ, Rorie, Mars,
Marjorie could have possibly faded with advent of the word "margarine", but modern parents seem to be overlooking that. The J- spelling must help, as Margery has yet to see renewed interest.
Marjorie is also given to boys.
Pronounced MAR-juh-ree.
As of October 2026, Marjorie ranked #1019 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #16 in 1922, Nameberry popularity #698.
