Gretchen is a female given name of German origin, though it became common in many other countries such as the United States. It is a pet form of Greta and Grete, which in turn are pet forms of the name Margaret. Its popularity increased due to a major character in Goethe's ''Faust'' having this name. In Germany today it is not as popular, and as a given name it is used much less than it once was. However, in the United States the name "Gretchen" remains very popular and nostalgic. ==People with the given name "Gretchen"== *Gretchen (singer) (born 1959), Brazilian singer *Gretchen Albrecht (born 1943), New Zealand painter *Gretchen Barretto (born 1970), Filipino actress *Gretchen Bleiler (born 1981), professional halfpipe snowboarder and pioneer *Gretchen Brewin (21st century), Canadian politician *Gretchen Carlson (born 1966), former Miss America and current TV host *Gretchen Corbett (born 1947), American actress *Gretchen Cryer (born 1935), American writer, actress, and lyricist *Gretchen Dykstra (21st century), previous President and CEO of the World Trade Center Memorial Foundation *Gretchen Egolf (born 1973), American actress *Gretchin Fetchin, born Paula Sundstren, one of the Merry Pranksters *Gretchen Franklin (1911–2005), English actress *Gretchen Fraser (1919–1994), American alpine skier *Gretchen Hofmann (21st century), professor at the University of California *Gretchen Kirby (21st century), American educator *Gretchen Kramp (21st century), American muralist *Gretchen Lieberum (21st century), American singer *Gretchen Magers (born 1964), former professional tennis player *Gretchen Malalad (21st century), Filipina 2005 Southeast Asian Games karate gold medalist *Gretchen Massey (born 1969), radio host and performer *Gretchen Merrill (died 1965), American figure skater *Gretchen Mol (born 1972), American actress *Gretchen Morgenson (born 1956), Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist *Gretchen Oehler (1943–2001), American actress *Gretchen Osgood Warren (1868–1961), actress, singer, poet and muse *Gretchen Parlato (21st century), American jazz singer *Gretchen Passantino (21st century), Christian apologist *Gretchen Peters (21st century), American country singer *Gretchen Phillips (born 1963), American musician *Gretchen Polhemus (born 1965), the 38th Miss USA *Gretchen Quintana (born 1984), Cuban heptathlete *Gretchen Rau (1939–2006), professional property master, set decorator, and art director *Gretchen Rubin (21st century), American author and attorney *Gretchen Ulion (born 1972), American ice hockey player *Gretchen Whitmer (born 1971), Michigan State Senator *Gretchen Wilson (born 1973), Grammy award-winning American country music singer-songwriter *Gretchen Wyler (1932–2007), American actress 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Gretchen」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
