Margeritte is Greek in Origin.

Margeritte is a rare, French-leaning elaboration of Margaret, ultimately from the Greek margarites meaning 'pearl.' While standard French uses Marguerite (also the common word for the daisy), this double-t form likely arose as an ornamental cross between Marguerite and Italian Margherita, and appears sporadically in English-language records. The name carries the long-standing symbolism of purity and preciousness from both the pearl image and the daisy flower.

Adoption of the Margaret family surged across medieval Europe through the cults of Saint Margaret of Antioch and Saint Margaret of Scotland, anchoring the name in royal and literary circles; think Marguerite de Navarre and countless queens named Margaret. International variants include Marguerite, Margarita, Margherita, Margareta, Margarete, Margrete, and Mairéad. Short forms and cognates range from Maggie, Meg, Maisie, and Peggy to Greta, Gretchen, Rita, Margot, and Daisy.
