Meaning & origin
Margorie is a variant spelling of Marjorie, which peaked in 1925 as a popular choice for girls. The name has since become less common, with a relatively stable trajectory. While first recorded in 1907, it saw its greatest usage during the 1920s, reflecting the popularity of classic feminine names of that era. Today, Margorie is rare, offering a vintage feel without the familiarity of the more common Marjorie or Margaret. The name shares the meaning 'pearl' and has several common nicknames including Margie and Marge.
This is a variant spelling of Marjorie, itself a medieval form of Margaret, which derives from the Greek 'margaritēs' meaning 'pearl'. Margorie saw its peak usage in the 1920s but has since declined, similar to other classic Margaret variants.
