Marjory

Marjory is a Scottish variant of Marjorie, which itself is a medieval English form derived from Margaret. Margaret, in turn, traces its lineage to the Greek word 'margarites,' meaning 'pearl.' Pearls were highly prized in ancient civilizations for their iridescence and rarity, often symbolizing purity, wisdom, and preciousness. The name traveled through Europe, evolving in pronunciation and spelling, becoming a favored choice in Scotland and beyond.
