Meaning:Pearl
Margot is a girl’s name and the French shortened form of Margaret. Deriving from the Greek word margarites, Margot means "pearl," so get ready to welcome a precious and brilliant little one. With its rounded shape and luminous appearance, the pearl is often seen as visually similar to the moon. It's fitting, then, that this moniker is also found amongst the stars, the Hollywood kind rather than the celestial kind! Australian actress Margot Robbie dazzles on screen in movies like Barbie and The Wolf of Wall Street. Margot's silent t spelling is a big hit with LesSaintesMariesDeLaMer, a member of The Bump community, who says, "Margot is the traditional French spelling, so it looks the most elegant and complete to me."
