What is the meaning of the name Margarettta ?

Margarettta is Greek in Origin.

Margarettta is a highly rare, stylistic elaboration of Margaretta and Margaret, sharing the same roots in Greek Margarites ("pearl"), carried through Latin Margarita and Old French Marguerite into English. The triple-t spelling does not change pronunciation (typically mar-guh-RET-uh) but adds visual distinctiveness while preserving the classic meaning of "pearl," a symbol of purity and value across European name traditions.

Use of the Margaret family spread widely in medieval Christendom under the influence of Saint Margaret, and royal bearers cemented its prestige; the Latinate Margaretta appears in 17th-19th-century German, Dutch, and Anglo-American records. Near variants include Margaret, Margaretta, Margareta, Margarita, Margherita, Marguerite, Margarethe, and Margret; short forms and cognates range from Maggie, Meg, Greta, Gretel, and Rita to Daisy, Maisie, Peg, and Peggy. Today Margarettta remains extremely uncommon, often chosen as a distinctive update that still anchors to a venerable, international lineage.
