Malori is English in Origin.
Malori is a modern respelling of Mallory, an English given name taken from a medieval Anglo-Norman surname. That surname comes from Old French malheur, "misfortune" (from mal "bad" + heur "fortune, chance"), or the related adjective malheureux, yielding the traditional meaning "unlucky" or "ill-fated." Despite the somber etymology, Malori is often chosen for its brisk, contemporary sound and stylish surname vibe.
As a given name, Mallory appeared in the 19th century, used for boys as well as girls, before becoming broadly unisex. In the United States it rose for girls in the 1980s, aided by the TV character Mallory Keaton on Family Ties. Malori emerged in late-20th-century American usage as a simplified, phonetic variant and remains rarer than the standard spelling. Related forms and spellings include Mallory, Malory (cf. Sir Thomas Malory), Malorie, Mallorie, and Mallori.
