Margaux
Girl name · 13 babies recorded · 1974–2025
Margaux: 13 babies born in Scotland since 1974, given to girls, peaking at 6 births in 2025.
A stylish French spelling of Margaret, Margaux traces back to the Greek *margarites*, meaning “pearl.” Its most famous bearer, actress and model Margaux Hemingway, brought the name into the spotlight in the 1970s, while tennis player Margaux Kramer has carried it into modern sport. The name shares its spelling with the celebrated wine-producing commune of Margaux in Bordeaux, though the place name derives from a different root entirely. A further note: this elegant variant rose in popularity partly thanks to the glamour of Château Margaux, and it remains a favourite choice for parents seeking a sophisticated twist on the classic Scottish staple Margaret.
