Margaret

In English

Origin: From the name of a legendary third century saint, from Old French Margaret (French Marguerite), from Latin Margarita, from Ancient Greek μαργαρίτης ‎(margarítēs, “pearl”). The same source, through folk etymology, has produced Old English meregrot ‎(“pearl”, literally “stone or pebble of the sea”), related to Old Saxon merigrita, merigriota ‎(“pearl”), Old High German merigrioz, equivalent to mer- +‎ groat.
