Marjo Origin and Meaning

The name Marjo is a girl's name of French origin.

Marjo is a feminine name with multiple cultural connections. It functions as a Finnish short form of Marjatta or Marjaana (derivatives of Maria), and is also used in French as a diminutive of Marie. In both cases, the name traces back to the Hebrew name Miriam, whose meaning remains debated but may relate to 'wished-for child,' 'rebellion,' or 'sea of bitterness.' Compact and distinctive, Marjo offers a fresh alternative to more common Mary derivatives. The name is particularly appreciated in Finland, where it has a familiar, friendly quality. With its concise, modern sound and international versatility, Marjo appeals to parents seeking a simple yet uncommon name with authentic cultural roots and a contemporary feel.
