Margaret-Anne

Girl name · 6 babies recorded · 1974–2025

Margaret-Anne: 6 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 3 births in 1992.

Margaret-Anne brings together two timeless names with rich, complementary origins. Margaret derives from the Greek *margaritēs* (“pearl”), while Anne comes from the Hebrew *Channah* (“grace” or “favour”). The pairing has a long tradition in Scotland, where double-barrelled first names have been a stylish way to honour both sides
