Mallaury is French in Origin.

Mallaury is a modern French-influenced variant of Mallory, a surname-turned-given name derived from Anglo-Norman/Old French malheur meaning misfortune or bad luck. Introduced to England with the Normans, it became established as a medieval surname; the spelling Malory is linked to Sir Thomas Malory, author of Le Morte d'Arthur. As a first name, Mallory and its variants came into wider use from the late 19th century onward and have remained unisex.

Usage rose in late 20th-century North America, especially for girls, aided by the character Mallory Keaton on Family Ties, while in French-speaking countries the respelling Mallaury gained visibility (for example, actress Mallaury Nataf). Related forms include Mallory, Malory, Mallorie, Malorie, and Mallori; short forms Mallie, Mal, Lori/Lory, and Rory. Though its etymology points to "ill-fated," modern parents often choose Mallaury for its contemporary lilt and associations with resilience.
