Marge Origin and Meaning

The name Marge is a girl's name of English origin meaning "pearl".

Marge used to be as common as Maggie or Megan, ranking on its own in the girls' Top 1000 from 1900 until right after World War II, when so many Old School names fell off the list in favor of a new generation cuter, perkier choices.

Today, Grandma may be shocked to learn that Marge is extinct, given to zero baby girls in the US. And we doubt many little Margarets or Margos are called Marge either.
