History & Origin
Markeeta is a phonetic respelling drawn from Marketa, the Czech form of Margaret, and from Marquita. All of them trace to the Greek word for pearl. The plain 'kee' spelling belongs to the later-century taste for names written the way they sound.
It was always a rarity, a few dozen girls a year around its faint high near 1984, fading within a couple of decades. Its sound sits beside Marketa, Marquita and Margarita.
