Etymology of MARLIE

The origin and etymology of the word "Marlie" is uncertain. There are multiple possibilities, but none can be definitively confirmed.

One potential origin could be the Dutch name "Marlijn", which means "sea lavender" or "sea moon" in English. This name could be associated with the word "Marlie" due to its similar sound and potential connection to marine or coastal elements.

Another possibility is that "Marlie" is a variant or alteration of the name "Marley". "Marley" is an English surname derived from Old English, meaning "pleasant wood" or "clearing near a lake".
