It first appeared in U.S. records in 1915 and reached its peak popularity in 1995, ranking 6,838 in the latest year (2025).

Marymargaret is a compound name combining Mary and Margaret, two classic Christian names. Mary derives from Hebrew Maryam, of debated meaning but traditionally rendered as 'beloved' or 'bitter'. Margaret comes from Greek margarites, meaning 'pearl'. The double name became fashionable in English-speaking countries in the early 20th century, particularly among Catholic families honoring both the Virgin Mary and Saint Margaret.
