Margaret is a female first name, derived via French (''Marguerite'') and Latin (''Margarita'') from Greek ''Margarites'', derived from the noun ''margaron'' meaning 'pearl'.〔Hanks, Patrick, Kate Hardcastle, and Flavia Hodges, ''Oxford Dictionary of First Names''. Oxford University Press.〕 The Greek is probably related to the Sanskrit मञ्जरी ''mañjarī'' meaning 'pearl' or 'cluster of blossoms.'〔(【引用サイトリンク】View Name: Margaret )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Margaret )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Monier Williams Sanskrit-English Dictionary )〕 Margaret has been an English name since the 11th century, and remained popular throughout the Middle Ages. It became less popular between the 16th century and 18th century, but became more common again after this period, becoming the second most popular name in the United States in 1903. Since this time, it has become less common, but was still the ninth most common name for women of all ages in the United States as of the 1990 census.
