Margreet is of Dutch origin, derived from the name Margaret, which is ultimately derived from Latin ' Margarita', meaning 'pearl'. The name gained popularity during the Middle Ages due to its association with Saint Margaret, a 4th-century Christian martyr. In the Netherlands, Margreet has been a traditional name for centuries and was among the top 50 most popular names for girls in the country throughout much of the 20th century. It is often spelled with an 'e' at the end instead of the more common 'i', giving it a unique twist while still being easily recognizable as a variant of Margaret. Today, Margreet remains a beloved name in Dutch-speaking communities, carrying with it a sense of tradition and classic elegance.
"The name Margreet was quite popular between 1918 and 1923, with a total of 10 babies being named Margreet during this period."
