MEANING & HISTORY
What does Margaux mean?
Margaux is a spelling of Margot influenced by the wine-producing French town Margaux. Margot belongs to the Margaret family, whose Greek root means pearl.
The town association explains the distinctive aux spelling without replacing the personal-name history. A family may draw on either association, but the spelling does not establish an individual intention.
