An uncommon Greek pick — distinctive and rare.
Margy is a girl's baby name of Greek origin, a diminutive of Margaret, from the Greek Margarites meaning 'pearl.' Margaret has been one of the most enduring names in the English-speaking world for centuries.
Margy has the cheerful, informal warmth of mid-century American nicknames — compact, friendly, and immediately likable. It was most common in the 1930s through 1950s, part of the large family of Margaret nicknames that also includes Marge, Maggie, Peggy, and Meg.
Margy has 58+ years of history in the U.S., first appearing in 1911.
