Meaning & origin
Malloree is a modern respelling of Mallory, first recorded in U.S. birth data in 1984. It reached its peak popularity in 2008, reflecting the early-2000s trend of creative spelling variations.

Its rarity makes it a distinctive choice for parents seeking an uncommon name with a familiar sound.
Malloree is a contemporary respelling of Mallory, which itself derives from an old French surname meaning 'unfortunate' or 'ill-omened.' The name entered English use as a surname before being adopted as a given name in the 20th century. Malloree, with its distinctive spelling, emerged in the 1980s as part of a trend toward unique name variations.
