About Margharita
Margharita, a Latin name derived from the Ancient Greek term for "pearl" ("margarī́tēs"), is a variant of the name Margarita. The etymology traces back to Sanskrit "mañjarī" (meaning "cluster of flowers" or "pearl") or Persian "marvârid" (meaning "pearl" or "daughter of light").
Despite declining popularity from the 16th to 18th centuries, Margharita's popularity surged afterward, reaching its peak in the United States as the second most popular name in 1903. Its resurgence is attributed to the association with Saint Margaret of Scotland, also known as "The Pearl of Scotland."
