malarie is English in Origin.

Malarie is a modern American respelling of Mallorie/Mallory, an English surname of Norman French origin. The root comes from Old French mal + heur, “bad luck,” used as a medieval nickname that became the surname Mallory, also seen as Malory (famously borne by Sir Thomas Malory). As a given name it is pronounced MAL-uh-ree and is typically feminine in current use, though the underlying surname has long been unisex.

From a surname-to-given conversion that appeared occasionally in the 19th century, the name surged in late-20th-century America - helped by pop‑culture exposure to Mallory - while Malarie remained the rarer, decorative -arie spelling. Parents often reinterpret the etymology to suggest resilience in the face of fate. Common variants include Mallory, Mallorie, Malorie, Mallori, Malori, Mallery, and Mallary; related French Mallaury also appears. Potential nicknames are Mal, Lari, and Rory.
