Margeree

Margeree is an uncommon feminine name that appears to be a variant spelling of Margery or Marjorie, which themselves derive from the classic Margaret. These names share the Greek root 'margarites,' meaning 'pearl.' This particular spelling variation emerged in the early to mid-20th century but remained quite rare. Margeree offers a distinctive alternative to the more common Marjorie while maintaining the same melodic quality and vintage charm. The unusual spelling gives the traditional name a fresh appeal while preserving its historical connections. While never reaching significant popularity, Margeree represents a period when variant spellings were employed to individualize traditional names. It offers potential nicknames including Marge, Maggie, or Ree.

Pronounced mar-juh-REE.

As of October 2026, Margeree ranked #5500 in US births in 1922 SSA.
