Marlie is English in Origin.
Marlie is a modern spelling of Marley, an English surname from place‑names formed from Old English lēah “woodland clearing, meadow” plus elements such as mere “lake, pond” or mǣre “boundary.” Accordingly, the name is commonly interpreted as “clearing by the lake” or “meadow at the boundary.” In Dutch and German, Marlie also appears as a diminutive akin to Marli, related to Marlies (a contraction of Maria + Elisabeth).
As a given name Marlie rose in the late twentieth century with the surname‑as‑first‑name trend; it is unisex but now more common for girls in the English‑speaking world. Variants include Marley, Marlee, Marleigh, Marli, and Marly. Its profile benefits from the familiarity of the surname Marley, while Marlie offers a softer, tailored look.
