Peggie Origin and Meaning

The name Peggie is a girl's name.

Peggie is a feminine name that serves as an affectionate variant spelling of Peggy, which itself originated as a diminutive of Margaret. The name Margaret derives from Greek 'margarites' meaning 'pearl.' This spelling with an '-ie' ending adds a sweet, informal quality to the already endearing nickname. Peggie enjoyed modest popularity in the early to mid-20th century, particularly during the 1930s and 1940s, when nickname forms as given names were fashionable. The name carries a vintage charm and friendly, approachable quality that reflects the sensibilities of that era. While less common today, Peggie offers nostalgic appeal with its retro sound and connection to the classic Margaret tradition.
