- Source: Margery (name)
Margery is a female given name derived from Margaret, which can also be spelled as Marjorie, Margaery or Marjory. From the Old French, the Middle English forms of Margaret equally derive from the Greek for pearl. Margery, Marjorie and Marjory in the 14th century became a medieval softened translation of French and Church Latin versions of Margaret. After the Middle Ages this name was rare, but it was revived at the end of the 19th century.
Short forms of the name include Marge and Margie.
