Meaning & origin
Margarie is a rare modern given name that first appeared in U.S. records in 1911, its peak year of use. It has never achieved widespread popularity; the Social Security Administration recorded no rank for any year, as the name remained below the threshold for the top 1000 list. Its trajectory has been stable, meaning it has never shown a significant surge or decline. The name is likely a respelling of Margery, a medieval diminutive of Margaret, but its unfamiliar spelling suggests it may also be a modern invention. With no top states recorded and limited historical data, Margarie remains a curious choice for those seeking an extremely uncommon name with a classic feel.
Margarie likely emerged in the early 20th century as a respelled variant of Margery, itself a medieval English vernacular form of Margaret. The spelling with -arie may reflect a fashionable suffix or blend with names like Mary. It has never been common, with its only recorded peak in 1911.
