Marge

Marge is an English short form of Margaret, which traces back through Latin and Greek Margarita to a word meaning pearl. The name has been in use as an independent given name since at least the early twentieth century, gaining particular popular-culture prominence through the fictional character Marge Simpson. Estonian use of the name likely arose through similar shortening of the Scandinavian and Germanic forms of Margaret. Related forms include Margie, Margery, and Margarethe.
