Marrilee Origin and Meaning

The name Marrilee is a girl's name.

Marrilee is a feminine name that appears to be a creative variant of names like Marilee or Mary Lee. This melodious name combines the classic element "Mari" (from Mary, meaning "bitter" or "beloved") with the suffix "lee" (meaning "meadow" or "clearing"). Marrilee has a distinctly sweet, vintage quality that evokes Southern charm and grace. While never reaching widespread popularity, the name occasionally appeared in the mid-20th century, particularly in the United States. The double-r spelling gives it a unique twist on more common variations. Marrilee carries a gentle, feminine energy and remains a relatively rare choice that might appeal to parents seeking a name with a nostalgic yet distinctive quality.
