Margerey as a Baby Name. Meaning and Origin of Margerey

What is the meaning of the name Margerey ?

The baby name Margerey is a Female name and is pronounced /mɑrˈɡɛri/ (mar-GER-ee),/mɑrˈɡɛreɪ/ (mar-GER-ay).

Margerey is Greek in Origin.

Margerey is a rare modern English respelling of Margery/Marjorie, medieval vernacular forms of Margaret. The lineage runs from Greek Margarites, meaning "pearl," through Latin Margarita and Old French Margerie to Middle English Margery. Over time, folk association with the herb marjoram encouraged the j-spelling Marjorie; Margerey preserves the softer g while echoing the -ey ending and a gently antiquated sound.

Margery flourished in medieval England, borne by the mystic writer Margery Kempe, and was revived along with Marjorie in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, when Marjorie peaked in Britain and the United States. International counterparts include Margaret (English), Margarete/Margareta (German/Scandinavian), Marguerite (French), Margarita (Spanish, Russian), Mairead (Irish/Scottish), and Margit (Hungarian, Nordic). Time-honored pet forms range from Maggie, Meg, and Madge to Maisie, Margie, Greta, Gretchen, and Peggy. Though uncommon, Margerey carries the same lustrous "pearl" meaning with distinctive flair.
