Meaning & origin
Vergie is a name that enjoyed a modest period of use in the early 20th century, particularly during the 1910s. Its peak year was 1911, after which its usage steadily declined. The name did not achieve widespread popularity at any point and has since become extremely uncommon. Vergie likely originated as a feminine diminutive of the name Virgil, derived from the Latin family name Vergilius, or as a variant of Virginia. However, its exact etymology remains uncertain. While Vergie was recorded as early as 1883, its trajectory has been stable at very low levels for decades, and it has not seen a revival. The name is no longer given to enough babies to be ranked in official Social Security data.
Vergie emerged as a diminutive form of Virgil or Virginia, both of Latin origin. It was most common in the early 20th century, particularly in the 1910s, and has since fallen out of regular use.
