History & Origin
Marjori is a modern respelling of Marjorie, the medieval English vernacular form of Margery — which comes from Margaret, Greek margarites, 'pearl'. Marjorie flowered in early twentieth-century Britain and America; the -i ending here is a recent, streamlined take (said 'MAR-jur-ee').
The full Marjorie is far better known; this spelling appears only rarely in the U.S. Rare, vintage-rooted, and soft.
