MARYBONE.
Name and ancient situation.
The name of this place was anciently called Tiburn, from its situation near a small bourn, or rivulet, formerly called Ayebrook, or Eye-brook, and now Tybourn-brook (fn. 1) . When the site of the church was altered to another spot near the same brook, it was called, I imagine, St. Mary at the bourn, now corrupted to St. Mary le bone, or Marybone.

Marylebone
The pronunciation of this name continues to change. Today “Marleybone” seems to be the most fashionable version, but until a few years ago “Marrylebone” was the usual version. [In all cases the accent falls on the first element, with the ‘lebone’ becoming quite compressed].
