Marli is a feminine name of Australian and English origin. This name may come from the Noongar word marlee, meaning “swan.” As a charming variant of the English Marley, it’s also synonymous with images of natural beauty, meaning “boundary wood,” “pleasant wood,” or “pine marten clearing” We like the way that Marli swaps the -ey with the -i, a distinctive respelling that makes it stand out from the crowd. Needless to say, baby Marli is sure to enjoy a sunny day outside with the folks who love her most.
