Definition
A feminine given name of Greek origin meaning 'pearl'. One of the most popular names in English-speaking countries for centuries.
Etymology
From Greek 'margarites' meaning 'pearl', derived from 'margaron'. The name spread through Christianity via Saint Margaret of Antioch and became associated with purity and value.
Kelly Says
Margaret has spawned more nicknames than almost any other name - Maggie, Peggy, Meg, Greta, Rita, and Daisy all come from Margaret! The 'Daisy' connection comes from French 'marguerite', which means both Margaret and daisy flower.
