Margot

Margot (/ˈmɑːrɡoʊ, ˈmɑːrɡət/ MAR-goh, MAR-gət, French: [maʁɡo]) is a feminine given name, a French diminutive of Marguerite that has long been used as an independent name.

Variant spellings in use include Margo and Margaux.

An increase in usage of the name in England and Wales was attributed to the popularity of the Australian actress Margot Robbie and the 2023 American film Barbie.

It has also increased in use elsewhere in the Anglosphere, including New Zealand and the United States.

It has been in regular use in French-speaking countries including Belgium, France, and in Quebec, Canada.
