Margot f
French, English, German, and E. European: pet form of MARGUERITE (SEE Marguerite), now used as an independent name. In England it is still usually pronounced in the French way, but in Eastern Europe the final consonant is sounded, and this has had some influence in America. The name of the American actress Margaux Hemingway (b. 1955) represents a fanciful respelling of this name inspired by a village near Bordeaux noted for its red wine.
