Marjorie

  1. A female given name from Ancient Greek.
    • 1869, Thomas Bailey Aldrich, Marjorie Daw, section IV:
      The daughter is called Marjorie--Marjorie Daw. Sounds odd at first, doesn't it? But after you say it over to yourself half a dozen times, you like it. There's a pleasing quaintness to it, something prim and violet-like. Must be a nice sort of girl to be called Marjorie Daw.
