Notes:

Irish Gaelic form of Margery/Marjorie/Marjory, derived from the French name Marguerite.

It is also the Irish Gaelic form of Marcella the female name from a Latin diminutive of the male name Marcus.

The Scottish Gaelic Marsaili [q.v.] is our primary spelling of the Gaelic name; several spelling variants we have found are listed under it.
