Meaning & Story
A diminutive of Margaret, derived from the Greek 'margarites' meaning 'pearl.' Meg is the shortened, earthy form — direct and warm, like a favorite friend who always tells you the truth.
Meg is one of those perfectly sized names — not too fussy, not too plain. It has a scrappy, lovable quality that suits a hardworking, big-hearted dog or the kind of cat who has absolutely no time for nonsense. Meg is reliable, cheerful, and completely genuine. If she were a person, she would be the friend who shows up with snacks when you are sad. As a pet, she is everything you actually need.
