Marilyn

Famous Hollywood Monroe

Marilyn is a feminine given name, a blend of Mary and Lynn that became popular in mid-20th century America.

The name is strongly associated with Marilyn Monroe, the iconic actress and sex symbol: She had that Marilyn look—blonde waves and red lips.

The association is so strong that "a Marilyn" can mean a glamorous blonde bombshell.
