Madge

Madge is an English diminutive of Margaret, which derives from Latin Margarita and ultimately from Greek margaritēs, meaning pearl. The name was in common use in medieval England and remained a familiar everyday form of Margaret through the early modern period. It shares its origin with cognates and variants such as Midge, Maggie, Margot, and Greta, all of which trace back to the same Greek root.
