Marla

Marla is a feminine name of English origin, thought to be a variant of the names Marlene or Marjorie, and often interpreted to mean "high tower." It evokes a sense of strength and grace, with a straightforward sound that's both approachable and memorable. Marla had its peak in popularity during the 1960s and 70s but remains a charming choice today. Actress Marla Gibbs, known for her role on the television show The Jeffersons, is a notable bearer. Without many nicknames, Marla stands strong on its own, though some might shorten it affectionately to Mar.
