Does anyone know the meaning and origin of this name? It is pronounced mar-LEES. This is my daughter's middle name...from a German lady who said it was a form of MaryLouise I think. I have seen heard this name as mar-LIS too.
Hi Shawna,in German Marlis/Marlies is pronounced MAHR-lees (stress on the first syllable), and it is usually a combination of Maria and Lis/Lies (short for Elisabeth).Regards, Satu
