Ma%c5%82gorzata

Małgorzata is the Polish form of Margaret, ultimately derived from the ancient Greek name Margaritēs, meaning pearl. The name passed into Latin as Margarita and spread widely across Europe through the veneration of Saint Margaret of Antioch, a popular martyr of the early Christian church. Małgorzata has been a common given name in Poland for centuries, borne by several Polish queens and noblewomen. Related forms include Margaret, Margarethe, Marguerite, Margarita, and Margareta.
