Marjoria, derived from Latin 'major' meaning 'greater', is an uncommon yet distinctive female given name. It was first recorded as a forename in the early 20th century, used predominantly in English-speaking countries such as the United States and Canada. While it has not achieved widespread popularity like many other names, Marjoria possesses a unique charm that sets it apart. The name consists of six letters: 'M', 'a', 'j', 'o', 'r', and 'i'. It is often misspelled or mistaken for similar-sounding names such as Margaret or Major. Despite its rarity, Marjoria carries an air of elegance and individuality that makes it a notable choice for parents seeking a unique name for their child.
The name Marjoria experienced significant popularity in the early 20th century, with a total of 155 births recorded between 1916 and 1945. The peak years for this name were 1916 to 1918, during which there were consistently high numbers of births, ranging from 7 to 13 per year. After the late 1920s, however, the popularity of Marjoria declined sharply and remained relatively low throughout the remainder of the period examined, with fewer than 10 births recorded in each year from 1928 onwards.
