MEANING & HISTORY
What does María Margarita mean?
The exact María entry identifies a Spanish, Galician and Icelandic Maria form. The accent is preserved, while its Miriam-family history remains separate from any particular devotional intention. Margarita is the Latin form underlying Margaret, from Greek margarites, pearl, probably borrowed from an Indo-Iranian language.
The coinciding Spanish daisy word is a separate lexical association.
