📖 About Margo
Margo is an English variant of Margot, both deriving from the Greek 'margarites' (pearl). The name carries refined, slightly French elegance and has been embraced in the English-speaking world as a sophisticated, vintage alternative to Margaret. It's associated with sharp, independent femininity and has enjoyed a quiet revival alongside the broader trend for gem-inspired names.
