Margy Origin and Meaning

The name Margy is a girl's name.

Margy is a feminine name primarily used as a diminutive or nickname for Margaret, which derives from the Greek 'margarites' meaning 'pearl.' This shorter, more casual variation emerged in the early 20th century when nickname forms became popular as independent given names. Margy has a friendly, unpretentious quality that conveys warmth and approachability. It reached modest popularity in the United States during the 1920s and 1930s but has since become less common. Unlike the variant spelling 'Margie,' which had greater recognition, Margy maintains a more distinctive character. The name evokes a vintage charm that connects to its more formal origin while maintaining its own identity.
