Margie is an attractive, vintage given name of American origin. It is a short form or pet name for Margaret, which itself derives from Latin Margarita, meaning 'pearl'. Margie enjoyed popularity during the early to mid 20th century but has since become less common.
The name Margie experienced popularity waves between 1917 and 1931 with peaks in the late 1920s to early 1930s, then declined consistently until 1953. After a brief resurgence in the mid-1950s, it again decreased with only a few births each year from 1959 onwards.
