Maret

Maret is an Estonian feminine name functioning as a vernacular form of Margaret, which itself derives from the Greek margaritēs, meaning pearl, ultimately borrowed from an ancient Persian or Sanskrit source referring to the same gem. The name entered Estonian usage as a localized adaptation of the widely spread Latin and medieval European name Margareta. Its broader family of cognates includes Margareta, Margit, Maaret, and Greta, all tracing back to the same pearl-root.
