What is the meaning of the name Marjon ?

Marjon is Dutch in Origin.

Marjon is a Dutch feminine given name formed as a contracted double name from Maria + Johanna, two stalwarts of Christian naming. Its blended meaning draws on both roots: Maria (from Hebrew Miryam, variously interpreted as “beloved,” “bitter,” or “wished-for child”) and Johanna (from Hebrew Yochanan, “Yahweh is gracious”). The name is typically pronounced mar-YON in Dutch and sometimes functions as a familiar form of Marion, itself a French diminutive of Marie.

Records show Marjon in steady use in the Netherlands and Flanders from the mid-20th century, aligning with the popularity of compact double names; it peaked around the 1960s–70s and remains recognizable though less common today. Close variants and related forms include Marjan (Dutch feminine; note it is masculine in Slovene), Marion, Marjanne/Marjanneke, Marianne, and the pet forms Marj and Jonne. Internationally, Marjon is rare and often perceived as distinctly Dutch.
