Marjoree is English in Origin.

Marjoree is a modern respelling of Marjorie, which itself descends from Margery, the medieval English form of Margaret. Margaret comes via Latin Margarita from Greek Margarites, meaning "pearl," a long-standing symbol of wisdom and purity in European name lore. Through Norman French, the Margaret family spread across Britain, yielding variants such as Margery and, later, Marjorie.

As a spelling, Marjoree surfaces rarely in 20th- and 21st-century records, largely in North America, crafted to emphasize the long "o-ree" sound while keeping the familiar cadence. The core name enjoyed a major revival in the early 1900s, especially in the U.S. and U.K., before receding mid-century. Close variants include Marjorie, Marjory, Margery, Marjori, and Marjorey; related international forms are Margaret, Margarita, Margherita, Margot, Megan, Greta, and Maisie. Nicknames range from Marj and Marjie to Jorie. Meaning remains "pearl".
