Mared

Mared is a Welsh feminine name functioning as a contracted form of Maredudd, itself the Welsh equivalent of Margaret, which derives from Latin Margarita and ultimately from Greek margaritēs, meaning pearl. The name has been used in Wales for centuries and remains a distinctly Welsh cultural identifier. Related forms include Marged, the more direct Welsh adaptation of Margaret, as well as the broader family of Margaret cognates found across European languages.
