玛瑞莲 is one of several Chinese renderings of the English name Marilyn. The most common transliteration for Marilyn Monroe is actually
玛丽莲·
梦露 (Mǎlìlián Mènglù), but
玛瑞莲 also circulates in fan translations and novel translations. The
玛-prefix marks foreign female names:
玛丽 (Mary),
玛格丽特 (Margaret),
玛莎 (Martha).
