Name Meaning
Scottish: variant of Marjoribanks, a habitational name from Marjoribanks in Dumfriesshire. Marjoribanks was adopted by a branch of the Johnston family, tenants of the Bruce lords of Annandale. Following the acquisition of lands in the barony of Ratho (Midlothian) by Thomas Marjoribanks, legend developed that the name came from lands granted by Robert Bruce as a marriage portion to his daughter Marjorie (see Margeson ) on her marriage in 1316 to Walter, High Steward of Scotland, ancestor of the royal house of Stewart (Burke).
