History & Origin

Margarett is a doubled-t spelling of Margaret, one of the great classic names of English. It reaches English through Old French Marguerite and Latin Margarita from the Greek margarites, 'pearl,' a word believed to have come into Greek from an eastern source. Saints, queens and writers have carried it for well over a thousand years, and its short forms - Maggie, Peggy, Margot, Daisy - are almost names in themselves. Margarett is a rare spelling of a very familiar name (said 'MAR-guh-ret').

It appears only in very small numbers against the commoner Margaret. Rare, classic, and dignified.

Did you know? Margaret's root word, margarites, means 'pearl' - and it travelled to Greek from further east, one of the oldest borrowed words in European naming.
