Margot

Margot is a French diminutive of Marguerite, the French form of Margaret, which descends through Latin from the Greek margarites, meaning pearl. Marguerite de Valois, queen of Navarre and wife of Henry IV, was known as La Reine Margot, and Alexandre Dumas used that nickname as the title of a historical novel. The English ballerina Dame Margot Fonteyn, prima ballerina of the Royal Ballet, also bore the name. Margaux, the spelling of the Bordeaux wine village, and Margo are alternative forms.
