Margott is French, Greek in Origin.
Margott is a modern respelling of Margot, the French diminutive of Marguerite, itself the French form of Margaret. The root goes back to Greek margarites "pearl," likely from Persian, giving the name its classic meaning of "pearl." The doubled -tt reflects contemporary stylistic taste and is occasionally seen in Scandinavian or Germanic contexts to signal a short vowel and crisp ending, though usage remains rare.
Through Margot, the name connects to deep European history: Marguerite de Valois, known as "La Reine Margot," and later figures like ballerina Margot Fonteyn and actor Margot Robbie popularized the form in the 20th-21st centuries. Related variants include Margot, Margo, Margaux, Marguerite, Margaret, Margherita, Margarita, Margit, Marit, Greta, Gretchen, Megan, Maggie, and Maisie; Daisy appears as a traditional English pet form via the French word marguerite (daisy).
