Marly is English in Origin.
Marly is a modern given name, chiefly a spelling variant of the English surname-turned-first-name Marley. That surname traces to Old English place-names from lēah “wood, clearing” with either mere “lake/pool” or mǣre “famous, boundary,” yielding senses like “meadow by the lake” or “famous/pleasant clearing.” The spelling also aligns with the French toponym Marly (e.g., Marly-le-Roi), sometimes used as a locative surname.
As a given name, Marly rose in Anglophone use in the late 20th century amid the boom in surname and -ley/-lee names; it is unisex but tends to be feminine. It remains rarer than Marley. Variants and related forms include Marley, Marlee, Marlie, Marleigh, and Marli; short forms include Mar. With its nature-tinged meaning and breezy rhythm, Marly feels contemporary yet grounded.
