Marla

With its Old Hollywood appeal, Marla is a dream vintage baby name. This feminine moniker acts as an English variant of Marlene, which in turn comes from the Hebrew name Magdelene. Meaning "woman of Magdala," it can also have understated ties to your faith as one of the names of the Christian figure Mary Magdalene, who is sometimes known as Mary of Magdala. Marla may also come from the Old German name Marlah, which can translate to "famous" or "renowned." A variation of Marlene, Marla is full of charm but with a snappier, less formal feel that'll prove to be perfect for your little trailblazer.
