Maggy is a diminutive form of Margaret, which is of Latin origin and means 'perla', meaning pearl in Italian. This name gained popularity during the Middle Ages when it was used by several queens throughout Europe. Today, Maggy remains a charming and timeless choice for a girl's name.
The name Maggy experienced fluctuations in popularity over the years, with a notable peak between 1987 and 1999, during which time it consistently ranked among the top choices for newborn girls. However, its usage has since declined, with fewer than ten babies being named Maggy annually since 2006.
