Meaning & Story
A French and English name meaning bitter or beloved, with vintage and saintly associations.
Marion has the patina of an old photograph, dignified, soft-edged, quietly memorable. The name has belonged to saints, sharpshooters, and silver-screen stars, lending pets a sense of layered history. It suits a calm female companion with classic features and an unhurried temperament. The two syllables feel substantial without being heavy. Marion works beautifully for gentle hounds, plush-coated cats, or any pet whose dignity precedes them.
