📖 Sobre Margarita
Margarita é um luminoso nome feminino de origem grega antiga, significando 'pérola.' Espalhado pela Europa por santas do início do cristianismo — especialmente Santa Margarida de Antioquia — floresceu em uma rica família de variantes: Margaret, Marguerite, Margherita e mais. Na cultura espanhola, também significa 'margarida' (a flor), acrescentando um charme floral. O nome ganhou profundidade literária com o icônico romance de Bulgákov e é celebrado em todo o mundo hispânico, de rainhas a cientistas.
