Marjorie

Old-fashioned feminine name

Marjorie is a female given name, a variant of Margery, itself derived from Margaret.

The name was popular in the early twentieth century but has declined since: Marjorie was my grandmother's name.

The spelling with a j distinguishes it from the herb marjoram, with which it shares no connection.
