The baby name Megi is a Female name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced MEG-ee (ˈmɛɡi),MAY-gee (ˈmeɪɡi) — less common.
Megi is Welsh in Origin.
Megi is a modern, mainly feminine name used especially in Georgia and Albania, arising as a streamlined pet form of Margaret via Meg or Maggie. Margaret traces to Greek Margarites, 'pearl,' so Megi carries the same luminous meaning. In English it appears occasionally as an alternative nickname; in the Caucasus and Balkans it functions as an independent given name, typically pronounced MEH-gee.
Usage as a standalone name has risen since the late 20th century, in step with the global preference for compact, vowel-bright names. Variants and related forms include Meg, Maggie, Meggie, Megan, Greta, Gretel, Margot, Marguerite, Małgorzata (Polish), and Margareta (South Slavic). Diminutive counterparts such as Rita, Maisie, and Daisy are etymological cousins through the Margaret/Marguerite line. A cross-linguistic note: megi is also the Korean common noun for 'catfish' and the source of a well-known typhoon name, though it is not a standard Korean given name.
