Margrett is a unique and elegant name of Scandinavian origin, derived from the Old Norse name 'Margret', which is itself composed of two elements: 'margi' meaning 'pearl' and 'fróðr' meaning 'wise'. This beautiful moniker was popularized during the Middle Ages when it was introduced into England by the Normans after the 1066 Norman Conquest. Over time, Margrett has evolved from its Old Norse roots to become an enchanting name that carries a touch of historical charm and uniqueness.
The name Margrett experienced a notable upsurge in popularity during the early 20th century, peaking around the years leading up to World War I. Between 1908 and 1914, there was an average of about 25 births per year, with a significant spike in 1914 (24 births) and 1919 (34 births). However, this trend declined steadily from the late 1920s onwards, with fewer than 10 births recorded annually since 1985. The total number of births over this period is 1371.
