Marley

The name Marley originates from Germany and can be used as a name for either gender. This name is a combination of two words. ‘Mearth’, was an Old English word for a marten, which is a ferret-like creature living in the forest. The second word, ‘leah’, means wood clearing. Martens are small mammals that are similar to weasels, with bushy tails and paws that are known for having sharp claws and they can be found in forests. Some people also believe that this name is derived from ‘myrig’, an Old English word which means ‘pleasant’. The meaning of Marley thus translates to ‘pleasant wood’, or a ‘pleasant meadow'. In England, there are several areas named Marley, such as in West Yorkshire, Kent and Devon. The most prominent Marley is singer and reggae pioneer Bob Marley. With hit songs such as 'No Woman No Cry' and 'Three Little Birds', his music became popular thanks to his fusion of reggae and ska.

Lucky

Marley lucky number is 2.

Within numerology, the 2 vibration assumes the role of the mediator, creating harmony by bringing together dissonant forces through compassion, empathy, and kindness. 2 is linked to psychic abilities and intuition, and if this number appears as a Life Path or Destiny Number, the individual will be astute to subtle energy shifts and emotional nuances. Because 2 is so sensitive, it is very conflict-averse, and can end up feeling under-appreciated or unacknowledged. 2 must avoid seeking external validation and, instead, realize that perfect equilibrium needed already exists within.
