History & Origin

Margurite is a variant of Marguerite, the French form of Margaret, from the Greek for 'pearl' and the French word for a daisy. The Margurite spelling appears in early-twentieth-century records as a phonetic simplification of the fuller form.

Margurite crested around 1923 at roughly seventy girls a year and faded across the century, thinning by the nineteen-eighties. A woman named Margurite at the peak would be past a hundred today. The classic Marguerite is the enduring form; the Margurite spelling is a vintage variant.

Did you know? Marguerite doubles as the French word for a daisy, so the name blends a jewel and a flower; Margurite is the same name written a beat more simply, as many families did around 1900.
