Marjorie

For the ancient Greeks and Romans, marjoram was a symbol of love and happiness. Marjoram has a long history of being used in love spells. Some believe that, if a young woman places marjoram under her pillow while she sleeps, her future spouse will be revealed to her in a dream. Today, marjoram is considered essential for Italian and Middle Eastern cuisine. Marjoram is a very easy herb to cook with because of its mild flavor. Cooking enthusiasts have even coined the phrase, “when in doubt, use marjoram”.

Derived from Margaret.

Marjorie dates back to 16th century royal house of King Malcolm.
