History & Origin

Margia is best read as a variant of Marcia, from the Roman Marcius, or as a reshaping of Margie from Margaret, Greek for 'pearl.' Both are plausible for this vintage American name, and the precise route is uncertain.

It was always rare, given to only about sixteen girls a year at its peak around 1938, and faded by mid-century. A girl named Margia then is a grandmother today.

Did you know? Margia hovers between two familiar names: it looks like a compressed Margaret yet sounds close to Marcia, and either reading fits its early-1900s moment.
