Majorly is a loose, spoken way of saying “very” or “extremely.” I'm majorly tired means you are really tired, not that something is major in a careful, official sense. It is simply major plus -ly, and it still feels American, young, and a bit of its time — the kind of word you hear in chat, not in a school essay.
