About Margalo
Margalo, a name of Greek origin, holds the precious meaning of "pearl." It evokes a sense of beauty, radiance, and a treasure worth cherishing.
The name's prominence in the 1945 children's novel "Stuart Little" by E. B. White brought it into the limelight. Margalo, the lovable yellow canary, embodies the name's delicate and charming qualities.
