Marjorie

Where it comes from

Variant of Margery, a medieval vernacular form of Margaret.

proper noun

A female given name from Ancient Greek. 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.
