This spelling was popularized by supermodel, actress, and tragic Hemingway granddaughter Margaux, whose name spelling came courtesy of a bottle of French wine.  (The original spelling of her name was Margot; she changed it when she heard her parents were drinking a bottle of Chateau Margaux the night she was conceived.)

Margo itself is a diminutive of Margaret, which means "pearl" or, in its French version, "daisy."  Margaret or Marguerite would be more stylish variations now.
