History & Origin

Marrie is one of the countless casual spellings that Mary and its French twin Marie collected over the centuries. The root name Miriam is one of the oldest in the Bible, and Mary's devotion made it the most-given girl's name in the West for generations.

This particular spelling Marrie was never common, drawing only a couple dozen girls a year even at its high around 1919 and fading afterward. It reads as a phonetic country spelling of a household name; a girl written down as Marrie then would be of a great-grandmother's generation.

Did you know? Marrie, Marie and Mary are all the same name; the extra r is just a spelling habit, not a different origin.
