Meaning & origin
Annmargaret is a compound name that brings together two enduring classics: Ann and Margaret. First recorded in 1963, it experienced its highest usage in 1966, during the height of the mid-century double-name trend. Since then, its use has remained stable but very rare, never entering the top 1000. The name offers the flexibility of familiar nicknames like Annie or Maggie while preserving a distinct formal identity. Its peak in the 1960s aligns with the era's preference for elaborate and hyphenated names, though Annmargaret itself has not seen a revival. Today it stands as a unique choice for parents seeking a name with traditional roots and a vintage, yet uncommon, feel.
Annmargaret is a compound name created by combining Ann (the English form of Hannah, meaning 'favor' or 'grace') and Margaret (derived from the Greek margarites, meaning 'pearl'). It emerged in the mid-20th century, likely influenced by the popularity of double names in American culture. The name gained modest use during the 1960s, peaking in 1966.
