Margot is the French short form of Marguerite and goes back to the Greek margarites, meaning "pearl". Queen Margot of Navarre carried it in the 16th century, and Australian actress Margot Robbie has made it a stylish choice for a new generation. Margot ranked number 1895 in 2000, entered the top 1000 in 2013 and has climbed every year since to number 102 in 2025.
