The Story of Ajorie
Ajorie is a variant spelling of Marjorie (also Margery), which is an English and Scottish form of Marguerite, from the Greek 'margarites' meaning pearl. The name has medieval roots in Scotland and England, where it was a beloved feminine name associated with nobility and literary figures. The 'Aj-' spelling gives the traditional name a fresh, modern twist.
Marjorie/Margery was among the most popular names in medieval Britain and Scotland, but declined sharply through the 20th century.
