What Does the Name Margaurite Mean?
Margaurite is a spelling variant of Marguerite, the French form of Margaret, and it carries the established meaning "pearl." The name reaches English through French from Latin Margarita and Greek margaritēs (μαργαρίτης), the ordinary Greek noun for a pearl.
Greek margaritēs was itself borrowed from an Eastern language, most often identified as Persian, but no single source word is securely agreed on. Because of that, the meaning "pearl" is firm at the Latin and Greek stage, while anything beyond it is uncertain.
Margaurite Name History & Origins
The name rests on Greek margaritēs, "pearl," a word that appears in the New Testament, as in the parable of the pearl of great price (Matthew 13:45 - 46). From Greek it passed into Latin as margarita, and during the Christian Middle Ages it became a personal name in much of Europe.
In France the name took the form Marguerite, the French counterpart of English Margaret. Devotion to Saint Margaret of Antioch, an early martyr whose story survives mainly in legend rather than contemporary records, helped spread the name widely in medieval Europe; Saint Margaret of Scotland, an eleventh-century queen, is another well-known bearer. After the Norman Conquest, French forms of the name entered English use, and Marguerite has been used in English alongside Margaret.
Margaurite is a respelled variant of Marguerite rather than a separate name with its own etymology; such spellings generally reflect how the name is pronounced within a particular family or region. In French, marguerite also denotes the daisy, a use tied to the same name.
