Margrete, derived from the Germanic elements 'marg' meaning pearl and 'rêd' meaning counsel or advice, is a classic yet distinctive feminine given name. Spelled with an 'e' at the end, it differentiates itself from its more common variant, Margaret. The name Margrete has a timeless elegance and a unique touch, making it an appealing choice for parents seeking a traditional yet individualistic moniker for their daughter.
"Margrete saw its peak popularity during World War I, with 16 births in 1917 and an average of over 10 births annually from 1914 to 1919. However, after the war, usage declined steadily, reaching a low of just 5 births in 1932, and remaining below 8 births per year until 1954."
