Margareta is Greek in Origin.
Margareta is the Scandinavian and Central/Eastern European form of the classic Margaret, ultimately from Greek margarites "pearl," adopted into Latin as Margarita and carried into Christian Europe by the cult of St. Margaret of Antioch and St. Margaret of Scotland. The spelling Margareta is standard in Swedish and Romanian and is attested in Norwegian, Croatian, and Slovene records.
Royal and noble bearers, including the Swedish rendering of Queen Margaret I (ruler of the Kalmar Union), helped entrench its use from the Middle Ages through the early modern era, with periodic revivals in the 19th to 20th centuries. International variants include Margaret (English), Margarete/Margarethe (German), Margaretha (Dutch/Swedish), Margrete/Margrethe (Danish/Norwegian), Margherita (Italian), Margarita (Spanish, Russian), Marguerite (French), and Margit (Hungarian/Scandinavian). Diminutives and short forms include Greta, Grete, Rita, Meta, Marit/Maarit, Maggie, and Daisy. Meaning: "pearl," often symbolizing purity and value.
