Margueritte is of French origin and was popular during the Middle Ages. It means "pearl" and was often used as a female given name. The name has since fallen out of fashion, but it remains an elegant choice for those seeking a unique yet classic moniker.
The name Margueritte was quite popular at the turn of the century, with the highest number of births recorded in 1918 with 55 babies. However, popularity began to decline after World War I, dropping below 20 births per year by 1931 and remaining relatively low since then. Interestingly, there were five years (1963, 1964, 1968, 1969, 1971) where only five babies named Margueritte were born each year. Overall, between 1888 and 1986, a total of 1221 girls were named Margueritte at birth.
