Bitter or drop of the sea
Maryori is a Spanish phonetic variant of the English name Marjorie. While Marjorie itself is a medieval diminutive of Margaret, meaning 'pearl', the Mary- prefix in Hispanic cultures often draws a secondary association with the biblical name Mary, meaning 'bitter' or 'drop of the sea'.
