History & Origin

Mallorie is an -ie spelling of Mallory — from Old French maleüré, 'unfortunate, ill-fated', originally a surname. Detached from its gloomy root, it became a popular, upbeat girls' name.

It registers thinly beside Mallory. Rare, ill-fated at the (distant) root, and breezy.

Did you know? Mallory began as a nickname for someone 'unlucky' — but the name shed that sense long ago; the sitcom Family Ties made it a cheerful 1980s favorite.
