Marjea is a modern feminine given name most plausibly formed by blending the "Mar-" of Mary/Maria or Marjorie with a contemporary -ea/-jae ending. It can also be seen as an elaboration of Marja, a Finnish and Slavic form of Maria. Through these roots, its meaning traces to Hebrew Miryam, often interpreted as "beloved" or "wished-for child," and, via Marjorie (from Margaret), to the Greek margarites, "pearl."

The name is scarcely attested before the late 20th century and remains uncommon, appearing sporadically in English-speaking records.
