Reet

Reet is an Estonian given name, a short form of Margareeta, the Estonian equivalent of Margaret, which traces back through Latin and Greek Margarita to a Persian or Sanskrit root meaning pearl. The name became established in Estonia as an independent given name rather than merely a nickname, and it remains in use in the region today. Margaret, Margarita, Greta, and Margit are among the many related forms found across European languages.
