feminine · English origin
Marge is an English short form of Margaret, which derives from Latin Margarita and ultimately from Greek margaritēs, meaning pearl. The name has long functioned as an informal everyday variant alongside Maggie and Peggy. In Estonian use, Marge developed as an independent given name influenced by the same Margaret tradition. The character Marge Simpson from the long-running American animated series has made the name widely recognizable in popular culture.
