The feminine name Margrete is a rare, enchanting, and typically Scandinavian variant of Margaret. Deriving from the Greek word margarites, Margrete means "pearl," bringing to mind the gems that form in the shells of various freshwater and saltwater creatures. Those born in June can call the pearl their birthstone, so giving baby this moniker could be a lovely way to celebrate their arrival in the year's sixth month. With their luminous appearance and associations with wealth and wisdom, pearls are a gem that will remind you of your little one's inner radiance.
