Ma%c5%82gosia

Małgosia is a Polish diminutive form of Małgorzata, the Polish equivalent of Margaret, which traces back through Latin Margarita to Greek margaritēs, meaning pearl. The name was borne by several medieval European queens and saints, most notably Saint Margaret of Antioch, whose veneration spread the name widely across Christendom. Małgosia functions as an affectionate, informal variant used in everyday Polish speech alongside other diminutives such as Małgorzatka and Gosia. Cognates in other languages include Margarete, Marguerite, Margarita, and Meg.
