Mardie is English in Origin.

Mardie is most commonly a pet form of Margaret, shaped by the English nickname pattern that adds -ie/-y. From this root it inherits the meaning “pearl” (Greek margarites). In some families it also arises from Martha (“lady,” Aramaic), or appears as a spelling variant of Mardi, the French word for “Tuesday,” which lends a festive, Mardi Gras association. Close variants and cognates include Mardi, Mardy, Martie, Margie, and, at a distance, Margaret, Margot, and Marjorie.

As an independent given name, Mardie surfaces in English-speaking records in the early to mid-20th century, especially in the United States and Australia, where nickname names briefly flourished as formal choices. It has remained rare and informal in tone, often preserving its roots as a family endearment. The spelling Mardy is slightly more documented, while Mardie offers a softer, vintage twist with the same approachable charm.
