Marigold is English in Origin.
Marigold is an English given name taken from the sunny garden flower. The plant name developed in Middle English as "Mary's gold," for blossoms dedicated to the Virgin Mary, and came to label several species, especially Calendula and Tagetes. Its meaning suggests a "golden flower" and, by association, warmth and devotion; in different flower traditions, marigolds are also linked to remembrance and guiding light.
As a personal name, Marigold surfaced in late Victorian and Edwardian Britain with the vogue for nature names and has stayed rare yet familiar. It appears in early 20th-century records and enjoyed a modest 2010s revival after Downton Abbey introduced a child called Marigold. Variants include Marygold and the rare Marigolde; related Calendula is seldom used. Nicknames run to Mari, Mary, Goldie, and Golda.
