Margret

Margret is a Germanic and Scandinavian form of the Greek name Margarites, derived from the Greek word for pearl. It shares its ultimate origin with Margaret, Marguerite, Margareta, and Greta, all of which trace back to the same Greek and Latin roots. The name spread widely through medieval Europe largely owing to the veneration of Saint Margaret of Antioch, a popular martyr whose cult made the name fashionable across many cultures. Margret remains common in German-speaking countries and Iceland as a natural vernacular adaptation of the classical form.
