What Does the Name Memorie Mean?
Memorie is an English given name meaning "memory" or "remembrance." It is best explained as a spelling variant of the word name Memory, formed directly from the English noun. That noun came into English from Anglo-French memorie and ultimately from Latin memoria, "memory, remembrance," from memor, "mindful, remembering." The -ie ending is not a separate suffix with its own meaning; it reflects an older English spelling of the noun. The name's meaning is literal rather than symbolic: it names the faculty of remembering or the act of keeping something in mind.
Memorie Name History & Origins
The word behind Memorie entered English from Anglo-French after the Norman Conquest. Anglo-French memorie descended from Latin memoria, and Middle English writers used forms such as memorie and memorye before the modern spelling memory became standard. The older spelling appears in historical phrases such as in memorie of. As a given name, Memorie follows the English practice of using ordinary nouns as personal names; it is rare, and its history is mainly the history of the English noun rather than of a saint or a royal line.
Classical myth personifies memory as Mnemosyne, the mother of the Muses, but the English word comes from Latin memoria, not from the Greek name. The immediate source of Memorie is the English word memory, with the -ie spelling carried over from older English usage.
