Marily is English in Origin.

Marily is a modern feminine blend, most often taken as a streamlined form of Marilyn or a variant of Marilee. It fuses Mary - ultimately from Hebrew Miryam, interpreted as “wished‑for child,” “beloved,” “bitter,” or “sea” - with the -ly element echoing Lee (Old English leah, “clearing, meadow”) or Lynn (Celtic/Welsh, “lake, waterfall”). As with many compound names, its sense is symbolic rather than literal, but it can be read as “beloved of the meadow” or “wished‑for by the water.”

Use of Marily tracks with mid‑20th‑century English‑language trends favoring inventive blends, a wave popularized by the success of Marilyn. The name also appears in Latin America, often spelled Marilí. Related forms and variants include Marilyn, Marilee, Marillyn, Marilynn, Marilí, and Marilie. While uncommon, Marily feels familiar through its Mary root and reads as contemporary yet classic.
