Margey Origin and Meaning

The name Margey is a girl's name.

This friendly, approachable variant has a vintage quality reminiscent of mid-20th century nicknames. While less common than similar variants like Margie or Maggie, Margey offers a slightly different spelling that maintains the same warm, familiar sound.
