Margerie is English, Latin in Origin.
Margerie is a medieval English variant spelling of Margery/Marjorie, rooted in the broader Margaret family of names. It comes via Old French Marguerite from Latin Margarita and Greek Margarites, meaning “pearl,” a word likely of Persian origin. In Middle English records, spellings fluctuated, and Margerie appears alongside Margery.
It was borne by women across late medieval England, then largely ceded to the standardized Margery and the 20th-century favorite Marjorie (whose spelling was nudged by association with the herb marjoram). Today Margerie is rare but familiar, offering a gently antique tone. Related forms include Margaret, Margery, Marjorie, Marguerite, Margarita, and Margareta; Irish Mairéad and Scottish Mairead are Celtic counterparts. Short forms range from Marge, Margie/Marjie, and Marj to Maggie, Madge, Maisie, Greta, and Jorie. Meaning remains “pearl,” symbolizing purity, wisdom, and value.
