About Maggie
Maggie is a cute, earthy short form that has been in style for several decades now, still sometimes used as an independent name by such parents as Jon Stewart. First used in Scotland, it got a large bump in popularity via the 1971 Rod Stewart hit song "Maggie May." Today's Maggie might just as well be short for a more adventurous name such as Magdalena or Magnolia as for the classic Margaret.
Maggie Gyllenhaal was born Margaret.
Maggie is also given to boys.
Pronounced MAG-ee.
As of October 2026, Maggie ranked #294 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #46 in 1880, Nameberry popularity #240.
